TYPES of GASTRITIS

Acute Gastritis Chronic Gastritis

Acute gastritis is sudden and
temporary. The conditions that cause
it are also acute.
It refers to the sudden onset of
inflammation of the mucosa.
Chronic gastritis is a long-term
condition, though you may not notice
it all the time (or at all). It tends to
develop gradually, as a result of
another chronic condition.
It refers to the gastritis that has
developed slowly over time. In this
condition, there is continuous low-
grade inflammation of the mucosa.

Treatment for gastritis usually involves:

Taking antacids and other drugs (such as proton pump inhibitors or H-2
blockers) to reduce stomach acid
Avoiding hot and spicy foods
For gastritis caused by H. pylori infection, your doctor will prescribe a
regimen of several antibiotics plus an acid blocking drug (used for
heartburn)
If the gastritis is caused by pernicious anemia, B12 vitamin shots will be
given.
Eliminating irritating foods from your diet such as lactose from dairy or
