Weight Management and Body Position
Structured weight reduction program through calorie control and physical activity to reduce intra-abdominal pressure on the gastric mucosa. Maintaining upright position after meals helps minimize reflux and mucosal irritation.
Mucosa-Protective Diet
Elimination of irritants including alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods while incorporating gastroprotective foods. Small, frequent meals reduce gastric distension and mucosal stress.
Additional treatment options
Acid-Suppressing Therapy
Proton pump inhibitors or H2 receptor antagonists to reduce gastric acid exposure and allow mucosal healing. Duration depends on underlying cause and severity of abnormalities.
medicationH. pylori Eradication
If H. pylori infection is identified as contributing factor, antibiotic-based eradication therapy combined with acid suppression. Follow-up testing confirms successful treatment.
procedureEndoscopic Surveillance
