Getting around with gastritis…
Taking control of your health is the first step towards successful treatment of any condition. We provide you here with some easy-to-follow steps that will help you deal with gastritis. These have been derived from our experience of successfully treating cases over the last many years at Harmony Homoeopathy. Our nutritionists advise this:
Increase your fluid intake i.e. plenty of water, fruit juices, juices of vegetables such as carrots, spinach, raw potatoes, beet and cucumber juice
Drink peppermint tea 20 minutes before meals to improve digestion
Avoid eating broccoli, cabbage and cabbage family, collards, and strawberries
Avoid anything that produces food intolerance for you
Avoid colas and other aerated cold drinks
Avoid aspirin as far as possible - ask your physician to prescribe an alternative drug
Eat in moderation, at regular intervals – small and frequent meals can help you deal better with gastritis
Avoid irritants such as alcohol, tea, and coffee, hot and spicy food
Maintain a healthy weight – control your weight if you are overweight because obesity tends to worsen gastritis

Contact your physician to know alternative medications if your current medicines are the cause of the problem
