Gastritis - often also called gastric ulcers - can strike any person with all ages. In severe circumstances, inflammation can cause gastric bleeding (hemorrhagic gastritis) so much blood that came out and gathered in the stomach. One moment, the patient may vomit containing blood.

Usually, drastically decreased appetite, pale face, body temperature rises, sweat out the cold, and frequent burping, especially in a state of hunger.
According to doctors Rino A Gani SpPD-KGH, various things can cause heartburn. "The reason a lot," said a specialist in internal medicine from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta. But usually, he said, ulcer disease occurs because of two things, namely the functional disorders of the stomach is not working well and there are anatomical structure of the disturbance. Functional impairment associated with the movement of the stomach associated with the nervous system in the stomach or the things that is psychological. Disturbance anatomical structures can be injured, erosion, or it could be a tumor.
In the literature mentioned, irregular eating patterns can cause symptoms such as sore stomach ulcers, and nausea. It happens because the stomach produces acid - called the gastric acid - to digest the food in a regular schedule. In fact, even during sleep anyway gastric acid production, although there was no food to be destroyed.
Gastric acid is needed to help with digestion. Without stomach acid, food enters the body, can not be digested properly, so that nutrients can not be optimally absorbed by the body. Gastric acid in the total balance is required by the body. But if excessive will lead to disease. Gastric acid production usually increases when the body needs it, when to eat. Conversely, when the body does not require, the production of stomach acid would decrease again.
Therefore, irregular eating schedules often make the stomach difficult to adapt. If this is ongoing, there will be excess acid and will irritate the gastric mucosal wall. Pains and nausea also occur.
In addition to irregular eating patterns, ulcer disease may also be caused by stress. This is possible because persyarafan system in the brain associated with ulcers, so that when a person experiences stress disorder then it could appear on the stomach. "In this case, there was an imbalance," he said. All you need to know that stress can cause hormonal changes in the body. Well then, those changes will stimulate the cells in the stomach which then produce excess acid. This excess acid makes the stomach pain, sore, and swollen. Over time, this can cause injury to the stomach wall.
Reduce sour and spicy food
To overcome this ulcer disease, Rino suggested to reduce the consumption of foods that can interfere with the stomach. What kind of foods that can irritate the stomach? Among these are the foods that are too sour and spicy. Rino also mentions some kind of food that could form the gases that cause flatulence, such as cassava and jackfruit.
In addition, you also have to recognize a few things to watch out hooked up with heartburn. For example, said Rino, new heartburn symptoms arise at the age of 40 years or heartburn that has been treated many times but did not go away. When this happens, it is advisable to immediately went to the doctor. "There may be wound in the stomach or may be a tumor," he said. Therefore, beware.
Can stomach ulcers healed? Sure you can, as long as patients want to change the lifestyle and diligent consultation with your doctor. According to Rino, functional dyspepsia can be cured if the patient apply the diet and regular sleep. In addition, should also avoid stress. Patients should also perform regular physical exercises according to ability. Enough physical exercise and regularly will make the body become fit and healthy. In addition, exercise can also prevent stress.
