Can gastritis cause weight loss?

Many people would say that if you want to gain weight, the best thing is to have a good stomach and eat well. Some people suffer from gastritis due to congenital or acquired factors. Once they eat more, their stomachs will feel uncomfortable, with all kinds of belching and bloating. Sometimes it is so serious that they don’t feel hungry even if they don’t eat for a day. If this continues for a long time, it is easy to become thin. Therefore, only if you have a good appetite can you gain weight. Gastritis will affect your weight, so you should pay more attention to protecting your stomach.

Therefore, if you want to gain weight, the first thing is to nourish your stomach. Only when your stomach is healthy can you eat and absorb nutrients. Considering the condition of your stomach, you should go to the hospital first to see if there is anything wrong. You can also see a Chinese medicine doctor. When I was very thin, my aunt took my pulse and said that I had insufficient qi and blood, and my spleen and stomach were very weak. I took Chinese medicine for a period of time to regulate my body.

Normally, you should avoid eating things that are irritating to the stomach, including raw, cold, greasy and fried foods. As another answerer mentioned, you'd better not eat sweets such as donuts and cream. These things are high in fat, but they are difficult for your stomach to absorb, which puts a burden on yourself. It is also best to eat small meals frequently, slow down when eating, and don't let yourself be very hungry or very full. One of my best friends was originally chubby and very pretty, but she damaged her stomach when she went to college and lost weight rapidly to over 70 pounds. Later, in order to regain her weight and heal her stomach, she was very restrained in her diet, only eating easily digestible foods such as steamed buns and porridge. At the same time, in order to avoid hunger (people who eat easily digestible food usually get hungry quickly, and people with bad stomachs should not let themselves be in a hungry state), she would buy one or two steamed buns in the morning, put them in a bag and put them in her bag as a snack. Of course, eating only these is not nutritious. Later, after her stomach condition improved, she gradually increased the types of food.

As for me, I really like to drink honey because I always feel indigestion after eating, and honey itself can promote digestion. If you are a girl, I would recommend jujube flower honey because it is neutral and can be consumed in moderation during menstruation.

Furthermore, gaining weight, like losing weight, also requires increased exercise. In addition to controlling your diet, you should also go to the gym to run, do yoga, stretch your muscles, and sweat.

Finally, you must maintain a good mood. I found that whenever I was in a bad mood and lost my temper, my gastrointestinal function would also deteriorate. I used to quarrel with my ex-boyfriend all the time, and I was always depressed, unhappy and tearful. The effect of weight loss was not too obvious. My roommate witnessed that I lost two or three pounds in two days (the dormitory bought an electronic scale, and I often weighed myself to monitor my weight). Now my mood has improved a lot in all aspects. I haven't had diarrhea since the beginning of this semester!

Well... that's all I can think of for now. If you are a patient and encounter difficulties, you can add wam264. I will do my best to help you. My weight has returned to normal now. I also wish all my friends with stomach problems can grow to their ideal weight soon!
