Methods for the recovery of gastric mucosa:

1. Drug therapy:

Inhibition of gastric acid secretion: Medications such as proton pump inhibitors or H2 receptor antagonists can effectively reduce gastric acid secretion, thereby decreasing irritation and damage to the gastric mucosa.

Gastric mucosal protectants: Such as sucralfate and aluminum magnesium carbonate, these drugs can form a protective layer on the surface of the gastric mucosa, neutralize gastric acid, and promote the healing of gastric mucosa.

2. Dietary adjustments: Reduce intake of spicy, greasy, raw, and cold foods, as these may exacerbate gastric mucosal damage. Eating regular meals in appropriate quantities and avoiding overeating can aid in the repair of gastric mucosa.

3. Improvement of lifestyle habits: Smoking and alcohol consumption strongly irritate the gastric mucosa; quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake can help restore gastric mucosa.
