Dr. Shen Yonghua
In the treatment of chronic gastritis, the preferred nutritional supplements should be determined according to the patient's condition but generally include the following categories:
1. Probiotics: Help regulate the balance of intestinal microecology, reduce harmful bacteria, promote digestion and absorption, and alleviate gastric discomfort.
2. Nutrient supplements: Such as multivitamin tablets and multivitamin capsules, which directly provide various essential micronutrients required daily and assist in improving malnutrition caused by chronic gastritis.
3. Antioxidants: Such as vitamins C and E, which help repair gastric mucosal damage and reduce inflammatory responses.
4. Colloidal bismuth pectin: Protects the gastric mucosa and inhibits Helicobacter pylori, commonly used in the treatment of chronic gastritis.
5. Dietary fiber: Appropriate supplementation can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve constipation, but excessive intake of coarse fiber-rich foods should be avoided to prevent irritation of the gastric mucosa.
6. High-protein nutritional supplements: These supplements are rich in protein and minerals, effectively improving adverse symptoms caused by chronic gastritis and promoting overall recovery of the patient's health status.
