Gastritis is a condition that occurs when white blood cells move into the wall of stomach due to some injury. It also refers to mild irritation, inflammation and infection of the stomach lining. It may be acute and chronic. The more chances of chronic gastritis are in people suffering from severe iron deficiency. The stomach is J-shaped where the foods and liquid consumed are collected and later break down into pieces for digestion. Any disorder in the stomach lining will interfere with the proper digestion of food resulting in other physical disorders. If not treated properly it gives rise to ulcers also.
Causes of Gastritis
The various causes of gastritis are:
- Alcohol
- Viral and bacterial infections
- Peptic ulcer disease
- Pernicious Anemia
- High intake of spicy foods

• Ginger: If you want to get relief from your Stomach Ache and other aches, then Ginger is a great remedy for that. Place a small piece of ginger in your mouth and start chewing and suck the ginger juice slowly. This juice that comes off each time will help to settle your stomach.
• Sock with white rice: Take a clean old sock, fill it with rice. Then knot at the top of the sock so that the rice must not escape from the sock. Cook the rice from 2 to 3 minutes keeping in the microwave. It must be hot to the touch. After that, lay down flat on your back and place the sock over your stomach area where it was paining. Soon the warmth will help to settle your stomach and help you to feel better.

What is "sprague"
I tried googling it - found random stuff!
Thanks!
I have had Gastritis for over a year now and this does work. Milk has lactic acid and will cause more pain in the long run. Stay away from milk!
people please trust these remedies, they're proven.
true, lemon juice is acidic as it is, but it really does turn to alkaline as it reaches the stomach. if you still doubt it, instead of contesting with your own points of view, it might be better if you consult a physician and ask for a brief explanation on lemons. lol
or you're using the internet, why not look it up on wikipedia or sumthing, sheesh..
i'm sorry if i might sound a bit appalling but, guys, these remedies wouldn't be posted here if they're not proven to work, or at least safe for that matter. try them, they work... if you still doubt bout lemons, then go coconut water. there are a lot of alternatives.savvy?
now lets say you go to the washroom a little after your first tub seance, sit in the tub a second time and your good for the day.
does anyone know if a stomach rash is common with gastritis?... i have one at the moment with very bloated feeling.
thanks
If you just search on internet : stomach apple cider vinegar
When I have stomach upset I mix 1 soup-spoon of vinegar in one glass water and I drink it.Few minutes and I am ok!
It is not so disgusting, is like eating a salad with much vinegar
Please try it!
Cool Milk works as an antacid.
Honey with milk also good for this.
I know there are several articles that mention that peppermint is a no no, but when I am out and cant find anything else... I suck on a peppermint candy and it gets me through until I take what i need.

After one month, you'll be happy. After two months, you'll have forgotten about any gastric ailments you had.
You need to balance your acids. Eat organic yogurt daily for a month. It has to be organic because they won't use high fructose corn syrup, which actually exacerbates the condition. What happens is that the good bacteria in the organic yogurt will kill the bad bacteria that is within your digestive tract. You will feel a soothing sensation. Try.

I take 4 gas relief pills daily for chronic gastritis along with a prescription medication for GERD. One might tally me up to an IBS sufferer since constipation and diarrhea are also on my list of ailments.
Along with gastritis and GERD, I have chronic mid-back pain on my right side that radiates when severe and I truly believe this back pain is a direct rsult of gastritis and GERD.
I find the following foods to have detrimental effects on my symptoms: raw vegetables, greasy food, dairy products and sweets. It is my suggestion to study you own body's effects regarding intake prior to refraining.
After taking my daily medications including Kapidex, Hydrocodone/APAP and various herbs and vitamin/mineral supplements and then getting a good night's sleep, I wake up and flatulence provides full reflief to my back pain until I eat again.
I am categorized as underweight being 51 years old, 5'8" and 110 lbs.; my caloric intake is between 800 and 1200 each day. Thus far my diet consists of baby foods and juices that seem to keep my symptions under contrl just enough to allow me the ability to perform my corporate job responsibilities effectively. On weekends I eat conventional meals helping me ensure proper nutrition.
Although I obtain knowledge from reading about other people's experiences, I continue to research the web's medical pages for confirmations and trustworthy solutions.
