In general, gastritis is a fairly general name for the disease, in fact, it includes various forms. It is divided into different groups according to different criteria. Some of its species with an enviable regularity remind of their availability, while others - can for years not show signs of development. But this does not mean that everything is normal. It is necessary to periodically visit a doctor, so as not to miss complications or degeneration of the cells of the stomach into cancer. In most cases, patients are remembered already when the disease has passed into a chronic form. To date, this kind of its kind is divided into common gastritis and limited. Let us consider in more detail the first.
What is a common gastritis?
This course of the disease involves the defeat of the glandular tissue of the stomach, the main function of which is the production of gastric juice. Over time, the disease leads to a significant reduction in its production. Consequently, less is secreted and hydrochloric acid. This process can not but affect the duration and quality of digestion of food.
The typical symptoms of a common gastritis include: a minor pain syndrome, a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, frequent eructations. It is because of the weak expression of this picture, the patients for a long time do not go to the doctor. Since the general process of digestion does not suffer due to compensatory function of the intestine, pancreas and gallbladder, the inflammation can spread over the years. The most terrible thing is that it can lead to the growth of polyps, tumor cells. Because of the violation of absorption of nutrients in the stomach - patients suffer from anemia.
Surface common gastritis
A common gastritis is most often a consequence of insufficient treatment or its complete absence in the chronic form of superficial gastritis. Initially, they are affected only by the upper layer of the gastric mucosa, and then - the glandular structures. In this case, they speak of a superficial, widespread gastritis. To his treatment will have to spend a lot of effort. Here the main source of complaints can serve as symptoms characteristic of chronic superficial gastritis:
- Pain in the pit of stomach, especially after nutritional errors.
- Unpleasant sensations in the stomach, heaviness.
- Periodic stool disorders.
- Pale skin.
- Frequent unpleasant burping with a sour taste.
- Characteristic white coating on the tongue.

Treatment of superficial common gastritis
It is aimed at achieving two results: restoration of the gastric mucosa, normalization of the secretion of gastric juice and hydrochloric acid. Naturally, the therapeutic method is also complex and consists of taking medications, as well as dietary nutrition. In the first case, peripheral cholinolytics, antibiotics, antacids, a number of preparations for mucosal regeneration are used. In the second case, the normalization of the secretion of hydrochloric acid and gastric juice occurs by treating the products with steam, by quenching them or baking. This allows you to gradually return the function of the glands back to normal.
In addition to the preparation method, it is important to pay attention to a number of the following rules.
- Organization of fractional food with a time interval of not more than two or three hours.
