What should I do if I have erosive gastritis with stomach bloating and none of the many medications I've taken are effective?
For erosive gastritis with stomach bloating that persists despite taking various medications, it is important to maintain regular breakfast habits, avoid prolonged sitting, and perform appropriate massage. The details are as follows:
1. Maintain Regular Breakfast
Breakfast has a significant impact on gastric health. Skipping breakfast regularly may lead to indigestion or stomach bloating and pain. Therefore, even if multiple medications have been taken, failure to maintain healthy eating habits can prevent recovery. It's essential to follow a consistent and balanced diet during treatment. It is recommended to eat breakfast every day, focusing on easily digestible foods.
2. Avoid Prolonged Sitting
Extended periods of sitting can impair digestion and negatively affect gastrointestinal health, potentially worsening symptoms. It is advised to avoid prolonged sitting in daily life and instead incorporate moderate physical activity to help improve the condition.
3. Localized Massage Therapy
Gentle abdominal massage can help relieve stomach bloating and serves as a supportive measure in managing this condition, especially two hours after meals.
In addition, drinking black glutinous rice tea or undergoing medical treatment may also help alleviate symptoms to some extent. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and, under a doctor’s guidance, adjust or change their medication regimen as needed.
