Gastritis Treatment: Triple Therapy or Dietary Adjustments?

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which can be triggered by various factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection and poor dietary habits. Triple therapy is usually used to treat H. pylori-associated gastritis, combining proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics to eradicate the bacteria and treat gastritis at its source. Paying attention to diet can reduce irritation to the gastric mucosa and promote its repair.

If H. pylori infection is suspected or confirmed, triple therapy may be used under medical guidance. During treatment, it is important to strictly follow medical instructions regarding dosage and timing to avoid missed or incorrect doses. Additionally, be aware of possible adverse effects of the medications, such as gastrointestinal discomfort caused by antibiotics and black stools resulting from bismuth-containing compounds.

If symptoms do not improve significantly or worsen during treatment, prompt follow-up with a healthcare provider is recommended.
