There is a saying: "All diseases are from the nerves." And oddly enough, it is not far from the truth, many doctors confirm its veracity. Stress is a constant companion of our life, and a nervous state gives rise to a number of diseases that we are trying to cure by all available means. These diseases include problems with the gastrointestinal tract: gastritis and ulcers. Sadly, it is almost impossible to find a person who does not know what heartburn, abdominal pain, nausea or belching is, and these are the first signs of gastritis.
What is gastritis?
Gastritis is an inflammatory process of the gastric mucosa. During gastroscopy, patients have reddening of the walls of the stomach. The disease is expressed in the following symptoms: pain in the stomach, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, heaviness in the abdomen and bloating.
Types of gastritis:
- with high acidity (more gastric juice is produced in the stomach than necessary). Prescribe drugs that suppress acid secretion and a diet that regulates its volume;
- with low acidity (acid is not secreted enough, as a result, the food is baddigested). Prescribe drugs that cause the secretion of gastric juice, and diet;
- with normal acidity.
When is Omez prescribed?
The medicine "Omez" is prescribed for gastritis with high acidity, since the components of the drug inhibit the production of gastric juice (acid), thereby reducing its effect on the stomach and reducing irritation of the mucous membrane. One of the causes of gastritis is the bacterium Helicobacter. Being in a pleasant environment for itself, under the influence of such factors as malnutrition, smoking, alcohol (it is because of them that the stomach begins to work incorrectly), it successfully multiplies, which causes gastritis to progress and causes an ulcer. After identifying these "friends", antibiotics must be added to the course of treatment. With gastritis caused by the bacterium Helicobacter, getting rid of it is the first step to recovery.
If you fix the treatment with a diet for quite a long time, then you can forget about gastritis altogether. Otherwise, it can develop into a chronic one and the treatment will have to be repeated again and again.
