What Is Gastritis?
8. Prevention
One way to help prevent gastritis is to prevent infections that can cause the condition. It is not well understood how H. pylori is transmitted, but maintaining good hygiene practices may be effective at avoiding transmission. This includes keeping surfaces clean, ensuring food is thoroughly cooked, and washing your hands regularly.
Avoid overusing certain medication can also be effective at helping to prevent gastritis. The same goes for drinking in moderation only, if at all, and quitting smoking. If your gastritis is caused by an autoimmune condition, then it may be possible to avoid triggers. Avoiding certain foods may also help to manage the symptoms.
