If the stomach is upset …

The chronic form of gastritis is accompanied by a restructuring of the gastric mucosa and progressive atrophy, impaired secretory, motor and absorption functions of the stomach. The active principle of acidic gastric juice is hydrochloric acid. When the stomach is full, hydrochloric acid is consumed in the digestion of food. With normal acidity, all hydrochloric acid is neutralized, absorbed by the eaten food, while part of it with food passes further into the intestines, and the stomach rests. With increased acidity of gastric juice, hydrochloric acid is produced more than with normal, therefore, the eaten food may not lead to complete neutralization of the acid released.

After the evacuation of food from the stomach, a certain amount of hydrochloric acid remains in it, which may be quite sufficient to cause inflammation of the gastric mucosa, the acid begins to destroy the gastric mucosa, and having destroyed it, the stomach itself is taken to digest. This is how hyperacid gastritis develops, and later ulcers appear on the exposed muscle layer of the stomach.

Dysfunction of the stomach can also be associated with a decrease in the acid-forming function of the stomach, when the activity of secreting acidic gastric juice decreases. This leads to hypocidal gastritis, and in the case of a complete absence of free hydrochloric acid in gastric juice - with anacid gastritis - the enzyme pepsin is not produced in the stomach, and the process of digestion of animal proteins becomes impossible.

In this case, doctors most often recommend cleaning the stomach.

With atrophic gastritis, traditional medicine advises drinking serum in the morning. Then, after 30 minutes, you should drink 1 tbsp. l. sea buckthorn oil, which you can eat with a spoonful of honey. In the afternoon or evening, you need to eat a small leaf of Kalanchoe. Drinking another 1-2 glasses of whey is helpful throughout the day. For lunch, it is better to eat light soups, cereals, cottage cheese. Before dinner, the reception of sea buckthorn oil with honey is repeated.

The best food for stomach and intestinal diseases is a vegetarian food. It is necessary to use more decoctions and herbal infusions.

Yarrow inflorescences are used either in the form of an infusion or in the form of a tincture. In the latter case, they are poured with vodka in a ratio of 1: 2 and after 10 days of infusion, they take 2 tbsp. l. before eating.

White cabbage helps, its juice, which is useful to drink half a glass 30 minutes before meals. For breakfast, it is useful to eat mashed raw apple - 100 g and raw pumpkin pulp - 300 g. Before lunch, it is useful to take up to 1/2 tsp. wormwood or infusion of rhizomes (can be in the form of powder) calamus marsh.

Even the most chronic gastritis can be cured with apples, but remember to take green apples. The grated gruel is immediately eaten. After that, you must refrain from eating for 5 hours. Apples should be eaten early in the morning so as not to drag out breakfast time. However, apples should not be eaten at night, as this contributes to the accumulation of gases.

Diaphragmatic hernia can be congenital or acquired. The essence of this pathology is the protrusion of the lower esophagus through the diaphragmatic opening. Obesity, overeating, excessive physical activity, as well as chronic bronchitis, flatulence (bloating) predispose to its occurrence, against which it can develop. In this regard, pay attention to the treatment of the underlying antecedent disease.

This disease is difficult to diagnose due to the fact that its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases, sometimes this disease is mistaken for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer or even for bronchial asthma and coronary heart disease.

In order not to be mistaken in the diagnosis of the disease, one should carefully consider the symptoms that are associated with the manifestation of a diaphragmatic hernia:

• heartburn, which occurs due to the ingress of acidic gastric juice on the mucous membrane of the esophagus;
• shortness of breath, cough, choking attacks, interruptions in the work of the heart at night, if the dinner was plentiful;
• belching with air and food.

Unlike heart pain, pain with a hernia of the esophagus is not relieved by nitroglycerin. They increase with a horizontal position of the body and decrease after taking alkalis.

When treating a hiatal hernia, one should follow a diet, prevent an exacerbation of the disease, and restore the muscle tone of the diaphragm. It is very important that the bowels are emptied regularly. Don't overeat or wear tight belts and corsets. Exacerbation can be triggered by heavy lifting and sharp forward bends. Walking after a meal is very useful - it promotes the rapid movement of food from the stomach and thereby prevents an exacerbation of the disease. It is better to have dinner 3-4 hours before bedtime. The diet should use vegetable, fruit, dairy and cereal soups, slimy porridge, boiled meat, fish.

Cottage cheese, green tea, blueberry or raspberry juice are also useful. To neutralize the acidic environment in the esophagus during the day, you must drink alkaline mineral water without gas (Borzhomi, Essentuki No. 17). It is useful to prepare an infusion from the leaves of wild or hare cabbage and drink it regularly, 1 glass per day. A folk remedy for the treatment of diaphragmatic hernia is an infusion of 1 tablespoon of crushed marshmallow roots in a glass of boiling water (for 5-6 hours), drink the entire infusion several times during the day for 2 tbsp. l. for the reception.

In the morning and afternoon before meals, drink 30 drops of an alcoholic solution of propolis in 1/4 cup of warm milk.

The diet should include cream, fermented baked milk, whipped egg white; before eating, be sure to use vegetable oil (including sea buckthorn or rosehip). In 1/2 liter of fermented baked milk, you need to add the protein of 1 chicken egg and 3 tablespoons of a 3% solution of tannin, drink this cocktail 2-3 sips through a straw before and after meals. When bloating, pour 1 g of carrot seeds with two glasses of boiling water and leave for 10 minutes. Drink half a glass with seeds hot 3-4 times a day. Use enveloping and astringent agents - bismuth preparations: Almagel A - it provides long-term neutralization of gastric juice. Use it 2 teaspoons 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes. before meals. For pain - papaverine, platifillin, atropine. When the pain disappears, the dose of Almagel is reduced to 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. Maalox, Fosfalugel act similarly.
