Stomach Inflammation & Ulcer Care
Effective Gastritis & Peptic Ulcer Treatment
Gastritis refers to inflammation of the stomach lining, while peptic ulcer disease involves open sores in the stomach or duodenum. These are commonly seen in patients with unhealthy eating habits, stress, or infection.
- Burning stomach pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Bloating or indigestion
- Loss of appetite
- Black stools (in severe cases)
- Vomiting blood
The pain often improves after eating (duodenal ulcer) or worsens with meals (gastric ulcer).
- H. pylori bacterial infection
- Excess painkillers (NSAIDs)
- Stress
- High acidity
- Alcohol or smoking
- Spicy foods, irregular meals
Dr. Manish C Kak may perform:
- Upper GI Endoscopy (to confirm ulcers or inflammation)
- H. pylori testing
- Blood tests
- H. pylori eradication medicines
- Acid-reducing drugs
- Avoiding NSAIDs
- Bland, non-spicy diet
- Stress reduction

Peptic ulcers heal completely with proper treatment. Follow-up endoscopy may be required to ensure complete healing.
