Gastritis: causes, symptoms and how to support stomach lining

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. The most common cause is an H. pylori infection, followed by regular NSAID use (like ibuprofen, aka Nurofen or advil), heavy alcohol intake and physical stress on the body. Symptoms include upper abdominal burning or pressure, nausea and bloating. Food is the first place to start: what you eat, and when, shapes how calm or irritated the lining feels and how much abdominal pressure is felt. Finding the root cause guides the rest.

•      H. pylori is the most common cause of gastritis, so finding the root cause matters.

•      Chronic gastritis can thin the lining and make it harder to absorb iron, folate and vitamin B12.

•      Food is your first tool: regular, moderate meals, gut-supportive whole foods and a food diary help you calm the lining and find your own triggers.

•      Garlic, fermented foods and tea are traditional gut-supportive foods with some research behind them.

•      Symptoms lasting more than a week, and any blood in vomit or stool, are red flags that need prompt attention.

Salt water flushing: a fast, easy, mini gut-reset.

Discover how a salt water flush can support digestion, reduce bloating, reset the gut, and improve energy naturally. A step-by-step guide to performing a salt flush safely and effectively.

Salt flushing has become increasingly popular as a quick and effective way to reset digestion, improve elimination, and support both liver and gut health.

This natural method is particularly helpful after travel, periods of constipation or bloating, or when colonics or enemas aren’t available.
