Dr. Shen Yonghua
The feeling of fullness caused by atrophic gastritis can be relieved through the following measures:
1. Dietary adjustment: It is recommended to consume foods rich in protein, with moderate calories and easy to digest, such as white rice porridge, noodles, baked potatoes, bread, and eggs.
2. Avoid irritating foods: Such as spicy, smoked, excessively cold, or hot foods, as well as strong tea and coffee, which may exacerbate gastric discomfort.
3. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Keep good作息 habits and avoid staying up late or overexertion, which can help reduce the burden on the stomach.
4. Medication: If symptoms of atrophic gastritis are evident, and besides bloating there are other symptoms such as pain and heartburn, medications such as复合凝乳酶胶囊 (compound rennet enzyme capsules) and枸橼酸铋钾片 (bismuth potassium citrate tablets) may be used under a doctor's guidance.
5. Psychological adjustment: Emotional fluctuations can also affect gastric function. Maintaining a cheerful mood and seeking psychological counseling when necessary can help improve overall health.
If symptoms persist without improvement, prompt medical attention is recommended.
