With exacerbation of gastritis, you should immediately consult a doctor for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. It is also necessary to switch to a sparing diet. From the diet should exclude all foods that contribute to the maintenance of the inflammatory process. Fried and spicy dishes, spices, sauces, marinades are excluded. We need only boiled and steamed food. Gradually include in the diet of soft, mashed foods.
Treatment for exacerbation of gastritis
Any scheme implies, first of all, compliance with the regime. Then there is medication: prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, drugs that normalize bowel motility and normal bile secretion. In addition, funds can be allocated to normalize acidity or microflora. Symptomatic treatment depends on the concomitant pathologies and results of the examination. Pain relief can be used to relieve pain. In the fight against spasm, antispasmodics will help.
Vitamins
With exacerbation of gastritis, as with any other disease, the body needs vitamins. Below is the daily vitamin norm, which the patient should receive during the period of exacerbation:
- Vitamin PP - 60 mg
- Vitamin H - 150 μg
- Vitamin C - 500 mg
- Vitamin K - 360 mcg.
Physiotherapeutic treatment
With gastritis, thermal, electrolytic procedures are used. A common procedure is electrophoresis, in which the drug is applied to the mucous membranes. Under the action of microcurrents, medication is absorbed. The advantage of this method is that the active substance is delivered directly to the inflammation zone, where it has a direct anti-inflammatory effect. The dosage is reduced and the effectiveness of the drug is increased, the risk of side effects is minimized.
Exercise for chronic gastritis during exacerbation
Immediately at the time of inflammation physical activity is better to exclude. Only light exercises, static poses, breathing exercises and relaxing techniques are allowed. If there is severe pain, nausea, it is best to refrain from doing the exercises.
Exercises for stretching, stretching of the spine and twisting are shown. Today there are many complexes that are presented in the form of video lessons. You can also go to a polyclinic or a hospital to get a full consultation of an instructor in physiotherapy.

It is necessary to sit down on your knees, close your eyes, relax. Gradually we descend forward, we lower the chest and stomach area to our knees, while trying to lower our head to the floor. Arms for back, back or pull forward. In this exercise, we try to relax as much as possible. With the effort of will we direct all attention to the area of the stomach, to the place where the pain is felt. We try to mentally relax the muscles of the stomach, abdomen, internal organs, muscles of the press. Exercise at least 10-15 minutes.
Breathing exercises help relieve pain, spasm, eliminate discomfort and nausea. You need to sit down and relax. Breathing is performed by the abdomen. On inhalation, the stomach as much as possible goes forward, on exhalation - we press to the spine. At the same time it represents how, in inspiration, along with air, a stream of light, pure force enters us, directed to the area of the stomach, to the focus of inflammation. At the same time, pain sensations decrease, warmth spreads through the body. At the output of the black energy, the dirt collects in the area of the stomach and exits outwards through a black stream. The muscles of the abdomen relax all the time, we direct all attention to them. The same exercise can be performed while standing.
Relaxing exercises are aimed at relieving tension, eliminating spasm, pain. Relaxation is especially effective in the system of complex treatment of gastritis, aggravated by nervous stress. There are many meditative complexes, special relaxing music, mantras, sounds of nature that contribute to deeper relaxation, muscle relaxation.
