Gastritis Help in Dallas
Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining that can cause discomfort and pain. The condition is often characterized by symptoms such as acid reflux, indigestion, and a burning sensation in the stomach or throat. Nausea, belching, hiccups, vomiting, bloating and gas also may occur.
What Causes This Type of Inflammation?
There are several factors that can contribute to the development of gastritis:
- Overuse of NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, Advil)
- Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine
- H. Pylori bacterial infection
- Chronic stress
- Overuse of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors
Natural Relief for Gastritis
To help alleviate your symptoms and promote healing, Dallas nutritionist Gabrielle Grandell recommends the following dietary and lifestyle changes:
- Consume bone broth, which contains amino acids that can repair the stomach and intestinal lining
- Incorporate cooked vegetables, especially cabbage, into your diet and avoid raw, fibrous vegetables, which can cause more inflammation
- Consider adding fennel or fennel seeds to dishes or even just chewing on the seeds or consuming them in tea form
- Drink aloe vera juice and herbal teas like ginger, licorice root, and holy basil
- Avoid spicy foods, citrus fruits, tomatoes, dairy, and large portions, all of which can be irritating to your stomach
- Reduce stress through relaxation techniques such as Epsom salt baths with lavender oil (you can order high quality lavender oil through Gabrielle’s link here)
- Quit smoking and limit alcohol and caffeine intake
Supplemental Support
In some cases, additional support through supplements may be beneficial. Licorice root (DGL), probiotics, and digestive enzymes can help promote healing and improve digestive function. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional like Gabrielle to determine the most appropriate supplements for your specific needs.
