Effective treatment of gastritis requires a combination of medication, dietary adjustments, and maintaining regular daily routines to gradually restore gastric health. Gastritis is commonly associated with improper diet, excessive gastric acid secretion, and bacterial infections—factors that irritate and damage the gastric mucosa—leading to symptoms such as epigastric pain, abdominal distension, nausea/vomiting, and loss of appetite. It is advisable to test for *Helicobacter pylori* infection. Treatment typically includes antibiotics (for bacterial eradication), acid-suppressing agents (e.g., proton pump inhibitors or H₂-receptor antagonists), and mucosal protectants. Additionally, avoid overeating, binge eating, and consume a light, easily digestible diet to reduce gastric burden.
