See below for the complete condition overview and treatment approach.
🔥Stomach Burning & Pain
Gnawing or burning in upper abdomen — often 2-3 hours after eating or at night
🤢Nausea
Particularly in the morning or after meals — sometimes with vomiting
🍽️Loss of Appetite
Reduced desire to eat due to anticipated pain — leading to weight loss
💨Bloating & Fullness
Feeling distended even after small meals
🩸Fatigue & Anaemia
Iron and B12 absorption impaired by chronic gastritis — causing tiredness
😰Stress-Worsening
Symptoms invariably worse during periods of emotional stress
🦠H. pylori Infection
Most common cause worldwide — infects gastric mucosa and triggers chronic inflammation
💊NSAID Overuse
Aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac damage the protective gastric lining with regular use
🍺Alcohol & Smoking
Both directly damage gastric mucosa and impair protective mucus
😰Chronic Stress
Autonomic dysregulation altering gastric acid and motility
🛡️Autoimmune Gastritis
Immune system attacking parietal cells — causing B12 deficiency
Can homeopathy help after H. pylori eradication?+
Yes — constitutional treatment is very useful after antibiotic eradication. It accelerates mucosal healing, restores digestive function, and addresses the susceptibility that allowed H. pylori to establish.
How long does the gastric lining take to heal?+
Most patients notice significant symptom improvement within 4-6 weeks. Full mucosal healing takes 3-6 months.
Is treatment safe alongside omeprazole?+
Yes — completely safe alongside PPIs. As the gastric mucosa heals, the requirement for PPIs typically reduces.
Can gastritis cause anaemia?+
Yes — chronic gastritis affecting parietal cells impairs B12 absorption, leading to deficiency anaemia. This is addressed constitutionally alongside the gastritis.
