An acute attack of gastritis is a severe and sudden short term condition, whereas chronic gastritis would be a long term condition.

Acute gastritis may happen suddenly, but usually there have been some underlying factors that built up enough to cause a severe and sudden digestive upset.

Here are some causes of acute gastritis:

• Aspirin and other NSAIDS
• Corticosteroids
• Alcohol
• Consuming extremely acidic substances
• Physical or emotional stress
• Acidosis
• Parasitic, bacterial or viral infestation
• Standard American Diet (SAD)

Even though acute gastritis is sudden, there are signs that will tell you something is out of balance. For instance, if you notice you have hard dark stools that sink, you may be suffering from chronic dehydration and one of its complications is acute gastritis.

If you’ve noticed any indigestive issues like loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting you probably are experiencing the rapid onset of an acute gastritis attack.

Like everything else you have basically two approaches you can take for acute gastritis. The pharmaceutical approach isn’t going to cure the cause of your acute gastritis, but it may cover some symptoms . . . just beware of making things worse from side effects.

The nutritional approach is going to require you looking closely at your personal dietary habits. By using whole foods and the nutrient complexes within them you will naturally reverse all your gastritis pain, whether acute or chronic.

If you choose to ignore the cause of your acute gastritis and continue to try and drug your gastritis pain and symptoms away, your risk of it becoming chronic gastritis is worse.

Unfortunately, unless you address the root cause of your acute gastritis it could advance into a gastric ulcer.

That doesn’t necessarily mean you have too much stomach acid, it could mean you simply have an imbalance of digestive flora.

Only your stomach is acidic by nature, everything else is alkaline. Even the bacteria found in gastric ulcers are there because of the loss of an alkaline balance in your tissues. Once balance is restored the stomach and surrounding organs can function properly and the acute inflammation process will stop.

Acute gastritis improves rapidly with the right treatment, which sometimes involves using antacids to allow the ulcerations to heal. Keep in mind antacids should only be used in emergencies and for a short time.

Many of antacids are useless and often make acute gastric symptoms worse in the long run.

Eating more alkaline producing foods will benefit your recovery from acute gastritis without risking drug side effects.

You already know natural cures for acid reflux are the answer your looking for, but that’s not all your looking for. Deep down you know that if acid reflux can be cured with natural remedies why shouldn’t anything be curable, right?

Think about that for a moment. Since when did you even start to entertain that anything, no matter what it is whether it is acid reflux of cancer, couldn’t be cured with natural remedies?

Do you see the madness?

How in the world did we all get brain washed into thinking the worst instead of the best? It’s as if all our rich culture from thousands of years has been stolen from us. I mean seriously, I have a bone to pick with all this hopeless thinking that seems so rampant.

What happen to America’s great melting pot of natural remedies? Did the melting pot boil away and water down all our family wisdom and common sense?

Of course natural remedies cure acid reflux and anything else. To say natural remedies don’t heal is like saying all these health problems aren’t caused by unnatural causes.

There are still places where people generally live dis-ease free and they also live extra-ordinarily long lives. So tell me if all the acid reflux and the rest of it isn’t caused from unnatural causes then why doesn’t the great almighty medical industrial complex cure acid reflux?

To the contrary, the medicines manufactured for people who suffer from acid reflux have been proven to make acid reflux worse-haven’t you heard of acid rebound syndrome?

Acid rebound is caused from taking antacids, it’s caused from ignoring the real cause of acid reflux and because the drugs create chemical dependency, they create another market where people are suggested to participate in . . . the market of buying into more medicines that cover up acid reflux, acid rebound and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) . . . or even lead to surgeries.

Sure drugs will always play a role in medicine . . . but please, let’s not forget the science.

The Healing Edge of scientific evidence points to the fact that food can cure. Your acid reflux can be cured with positive thinking and right eating . . . it helps to include a healthy lifestyle in there as well.

It?s nearly impossible to share images of gastritis without a biopsy, but one form of damage caused from gastritis can be seen? through x-ray and sometime endoscopic inspection.

This disease is called M?n?trier disease (also known as hyperplastic hypersecretory gastropathy,

This image of gastritis is from a distortion of the mucus producing tissue, or mucosal folds, causing them to enlarge making the stomach lining look more like the ridges on the surface of the brain.

Imagine the gastritis irritating the normally protective mucosa lining trigger? the cells to make more mucus to the point that the tissue often becomes ulcerated.

Picture these glands eventually wasting away, losing water, minerals and a protein called albumin. This image of gastritis gone out of control ends up causing an albumin deficiency. Albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma and makes up about half of your blood plasma.

So now visualize gastritis destroying half of the protein production of your blood cells . . . not a pretty picture is it?

Now this image of gastritis has really gotten worse because without half the albumin protein in your blood your body can?t maintain proper water pressure, transport thyroid? hormones or fat soluble fatty acids to the liver, flush out (bilirubin) waste from bile and urine, bind calcium ions, balance pH and prevent the breakdown of folic acid.

So as you can see the image of a healthy body can be totally destroyed by gastritis.

The image of this type of gastritis disease is so severe that the only treatment other than a high plant based protein diet, is to have a gastrectomy, which means either part of the stomach or the entire stomach must be surgically removed.

Picture living without a stomach!

High resolution images of chronic gastritis through endoscopic examination reveals that gastritis is associated with helicobacter pylori. This is the ulcer triggering bacteria that has been shown to be successfully cured with alkaline water.

You can avoid images of gastritis and ulcers by avoiding chronic dehydration, also known as biological draught.

It?s common for health practitioners to mistakenly treat the many symptoms of biological draught as a disease like gastritis or peptic ulcers. There is real science that proves that proper alkaline hydration can protect your body?s internal terrain. This terrain, refers to the balanced alkaline pH of your cells and tissue.

The only thing that should have an acidic pH in your body is your stomach acid. Gastritis images may very well be caused from a simple reversal of proper pH. This causes the opposite effect? of a balanced pH and wrecks havoc on your stomach, liver, blood cells, heart, endocrine system and more.

The image of gastritis means the stomach is lacking its normal acid pH, ultimately causing it to have to be removed.

So follow your gut feelings and learn to help prevent dis-ease by staying hydrated with alkaline water rich in ?ionic? sea minerals and eat plenty of plant-based proteins.

The main symptoms of gastritis are loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, headache, and vertigo or dizziness. There are many things that can trigger gastritis and dizziness, but inflammation is the primary predator here.

Here are some of the things that can trigger dizziness from gastritis:

• Eating too much
• Eating quickly
• Eating animal fats
• Eating foods high in refined sugar
• Periods of high ongoing stress.
• Chronic fatigue
• Extreme exercise right after eating
• Smoking tobacco
• drinking alcohol
• Helicobacter pylori infections in the gut
• Side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like aspirin or ibuprofen

If you have been experiencing the symptoms of gastritis inflammation, like dizziness, after eating, then you need to see a health practitioner as soon as possible.

Keep in mind that the least helpful thing you can do to eliminate dizziness triggered from gastritis is to start taking antacids. Antacids have been proven many years ago to be nothing but a gimmick, and a harmful gimmick at that.

Don?t fall for the direct-to-consumer advertising you see on television or hear on the radio?do your due diligence and discover the truth yourself. In fact did you know direct-to-consumer commercials are illegal in every country accept the US and New Zeeland?? These commercials are geared to sell you on drugs as a solution to everything under the moon.

Truth is drugs aren?t a solution for anything. Drugs can be temporarily helpful only to buy you and the doctor time, while vigilantly seeking to uproot the cause of your dizziness and gastritis inflammation.

Any prolonged use of drugs is misuse and in many cases outright abuse.

Dizziness is one of the most serious side effects you can have from an illness or a drug. Dizziness is a sign you are in danger of losing complete control and may be a symptom of heart disease, ear infection or gastric inflammation (Gastritis).

If you are experiencing inflammation you are at going through a degenerative process that must be stopped before it can be reversed.

Here are some of the symptoms, or signs, of gastritis:

• Upper abdominal pain
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Hiccups
• Belching or gas
• Burning sensation in the stomach
• Dizziness
• Extreme weakness
• Shortness of breath

Simply cutting back on dangerous habits like smoking tobacco, drinking hard alcohol and over eating often help, if necessary you may need to eliminate all junk food, cut out all refined salts and sugars and take up a vegan diet for a month or more.

The idea is to help you restore digestive balance so that your immune system can heal whatever is causing the gastritis inflammation and dizziness in the first place.

If you aren?t ready to make a commitment to ridding your lifestyle of dangerous habits and oversights, then your doctor and pharmacist will be happy to take you on as a permanent gastritis customer.

After you?ve tried all that and finally decide your wealth is your health, you will stop at nothing to restore natural vitality and digestive balance.

Dizziness usually comes just before you pass out, or fall over and where and when you lose your balance may determine whether you live through the experience.

So to cure your gastritis, as with any degenerative health issue you need to see the value of living a life not only free of symptoms, but one that nurtures nature balance, not dizziness.
