Autumn - it is not only the season of colds and acute respiratory disease. In the offseason, traditionally more acute illnesses and stomach - gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastroduodenitis
Some explanation. Firstly, dank sometimes decreases the activity of the gastrointestinal tract and gastric acidity varies, but in our diet is formed shortage of vitamins B and C, required for the natural update gastric mucosa. Secondly, diseases of the stomach, as it turned out, closely linked to the human psyche.
- Bad temper and problems with the gastrointestinal tract often closely linked - says gastroenterologist Svetlana Kosyura, PhD, associate professor of SMU . - It is no coincidence about unpleasant people say, "ulcerative character" or "bilious nature." And because mental illnesses are aggravated in the fall, and the peak of activity of stomach ailments also have to at this time.
In recent years, the root of all "dance" in the stomach called Helicobacter pylori. But many experts believe that it is not.
- Helicobacter infection have virtually everyone - during the examination, it is diagnosed in 98% of the people - says Svetlana Kosyura. - But it is not all sick. Gastroenterologists say that Helicobacter is of two kinds of pathogenic and non-pathogenic, so accurate diagnosis in addition to the urea breath test is necessary to go further investigation, with which you can refine your malignancy infection.
Another dangerous error - assume that all stomach ailments by close relatives and treat them with a universal tool - a glass of water with dissolved in it a pinch of baking soda.
- This drink really quickly relieves pain due to the fact that dilute hydrochloric acid in the stomach - warns Svetlana Kosyura - but this treatment can not be named. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract caused by different reasons and signals its existence in various ways. Therefore, carefully listen to your instincts and do not pull the visit to the doctor not to spend autumn in a hospital bed.

Who is affected
Gastritis is considered to be a disease of the people "foot feed." As a result of the day, conducted by "grazing", ends with abundant evening meal. This leads to the fact that the stomach simultaneously generates an amount of hydrochloric acid, which is enough for it to absorb not only the food, but also the stomach.

nausea, sometimes vomiting;
heartburn or acid regurgitation;
bloating, constipation or diarrhea.

Gastric ulcer
Local defects (ulceration) of the gastric mucosa
