10. Lifestyle Changes Treatment
Some patients will need to stop the use of certain medications, particularly NSAIDS and aspirin, because they can contribute to inflammation of the duodenum. It is also recommended to stop smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol as much as possible. If the patient is not willing to quit completely then they should consider at least limiting their usage.
In some cases, lifestyle changes will need to be made to address the underlying cause of the condition. This can mean avoiding gluten for patients that have celiac disease, along with any other foods that can cause the irritation of the lining of the duodenitis.
