Jacob Bogatin & Alternative Medicine

Gastritis is the medical term which is used for a designation of the whole group of gastroenterological diseases connected with an inflammation of an internal mucous membrane of a wall of a stomach. As a rule, the similar inflammation is caused by the same infection that is the reason of the majority of stomach ulcers. Nevertheless, other factors - including traumas, the damage and the regular use of certain anaesthetics also can lead to gastritis development.

Jacob Bogatin thinks that despite a variety of the frustration that accompanies gastritis, signs and symptoms of this disease are very similar: a sharp burning pain in the top part of a stomach, periodic stomach bloat, eructation, nausea or vomiting.

In some cases the gastritis can pass in an ulcer and increase probability of disease by a stomach cancer. However, in most cases the gastritis does not represent special health hazard and can easily be treated but hardly cured forever.

Signs and gastritis symptoms according to Jacob Bogatin

The most widespread signs and symptoms of a gastritis which often appear for short time and in the easy form:

- The aching or sharp burning pain (stomach indigestion) in the top part of a stomach which becomes aggravated or disappears in the course of food intake;

- Nausea;

- Vomiting;

- Absence of appetite;

- Eructation or bloat of a stomach;

- Feeling of overweight in the top part of a stomach after meal;

- Fast weight loss.

The sharp gastritis arises suddenly and roughly proceeds. As a rule, it appears with a classical combination of a nausea and a burning pain or discomfort in epigastric areas. The chronic gastritis develops gradually and proceeds with frequent relapses. This form of a gastritis is more often accompanied by an aching pain and feeling of a stomach overweight or appetite loss at the beginning of food intake. However, Jacob Bogatin claims that the chronic gastritis does not cause serious problems for many people.

In rare instances the gastric bleeding is not excluded, however it is not too dangerous, if is not accompanied by formation of ulcers on an internal mucous membrane of a stomach. The gastric bleeding can cause vomiting with blood or black resinous faeces color. In this case immediate medical aid is necessary.
