Guide To Gastritis Symptoms

Loss Of Appetite

The pain, nausea, and other symptoms caused by gastritis may sometimes result in a loss of appetite. Patients who experience this should keep a diary of how often their loss of appetite occurs and share the information with their doctors. These patients may wish to explore dietary alternatives and easily digested foods. Crackers, rice, broths, green vegetables, and potatoes may be easier on patient's stomachs and enable them to get sufficient calories and nutrition. Patients may need to take vitamin and mineral supplements to prevent malnutrition, and they should consult their healthcare team for guidance about proper doses. Patients may need to take oral electrolyte supplements to avoid electrolyte imbalances as well. Nutritionists with training in gastritis can help patients design an eating plan that works for their condition and makes eating less painful.
