What Causes Inflammation

As part of the digestive system, the stomach secretes acid and powerful enzymes that help break down food and other substances. To protect the rest of the body from these potent compounds, there is a membrane that separates the contents of the stomach from other organs. Irritation of this membrane promotes inflammation.

The following are common irritants:

• stress,
• alcohol consumption,
• caffeine,
• smoking,
• high fat diets,
• reflux,
• aspirin,
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Nutrition during exacerbation of erosive reflux gastritis

A characteristic feature of this form of pathology is the reflux of the contents of the duodenum into the stomach cavity. This leads to the formation of numerous erosions on the surface of the mucosa. After an exacerbation in the first two days, the patient is recommended to take complete nutritional rest. You are allowed to drink only water without gases and unsweetened “weak” tea. This will allow the organ to “rest” and recover.

In the future, steamed and boiled dishes will be introduced into the menu. The basis of the diet should be vegetables, slimy porridges and soups, and ground chicken breast. You need to eat in small portions and at least 6 times a day. The duration of the diet after the symptoms of exacerbation subside is at least a calendar month.

It is necessary to completely exclude:

• Alcohol.
• Strong teas and coffee.
• Salt.
• Spices.
• Animal fats.
• Roast.
• Marinades.
• Sauces.
• Carbonated drinks.

Free consultation and appointment

Alcohol is especially dangerous for people suffering from gastritis or peptic ulcers, since drinking causes an exacerbation of these diseases and provokes a sharp worsening of symptoms. It is better for those suffering from these diseases to completely avoid alcohol. But if you couldn’t avoid drinking, if pain occurs, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Diet for damage to the antrum of the stomach

This form of pathology is a type of reflux gastritis, only erosive formations are recorded exclusively in the antrum of the stomach. It is necessary to completely exclude fatty meats and foods with a sour taste, including fermented milk, from the patient’s diet.

During the period of exacerbation, split meals are recommended - at least 6 times a day. It is advisable to take food lying down, in small portions

The menu for gastric erosion of this form should completely exclude alcoholic drinks of any strength, coffee, spicy and rough foods, smoked foods, fried foods, and fatty foods. Industrial semi-finished products, salt, spices, sweets, baked goods, onions, garlic, mustard, horseradish sauces, ketchup, and mayonnaise are also prohibited. The diet helps normalize the production of digestive enzymes and also stimulates the healing of ulcerations.

Does vodka cure or cripple ulcers?

Strong alcoholic drinks cause burns to the inner walls of the stomach. Even their single use is harmful. If the stomach is empty, alcohol easily penetrates into the bloodstream, disrupting the blood supply process. The vessels feeding the organ are destroyed.

So is it possible to drink vodka for an ulcer? – Only after meals, in small quantities. It’s better to give up strong alcohol altogether. Some people try to treat stomach ulcers with vodka. This is dangerous because apparent relief occurs, pain dulls, and this prevents the patient from tracking the real situation with his health.
