What Is The Remedy For The Pain In The Heart Due To Gastritis?

I have had problems with sharp pain in my heart region for a very long time. I have just blown it off because I figure they are gas bubbles. However, the seem to happen more often and they are painful and uncomfortable. I am 21 year of age. They usually occur if i bend or stretch a certain way.

Hi
The problem you are having is gastritis along with disturbed Gastro intestinal flora.The intestinal microflora is a complex ecosystem containing over 400 bacterial species. Anaerobes outnumber facultative anaerobes. The flora is sparse in the stomach and upper intestine, but luxuriant in the lower bowel.The intestinal flora is capable of fermenting indigestible carbohydrates (dietary fiber) to short-chain fatty acids such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. The major source of such fermentable carbohydrate in the human colon is plant cell wall polysaccharides such as pectins, cellulose, and hemicellulose. The acids produced from these fiber substrates by bacteria can be an important energy source for the host.
The gut flora helps to neutralise some of the toxic by-products of digestion, reduce harmful substances (such as toxins and carcinogens), and discourage 'bad' bacteria and yeasts. It also helps to stimulate the digestive process and aid the absorption of nutrients, as well as producing vitamins including B and K.
So any problem with this flora causes symptoms like gastric pain,burping,poor digestion etc.
I would suggest you to take probiotics for few weeks.Probiotics will help to restrore the good intestinal flora,Along with probiotics B complex are to be taken.Once the good bacterias are restored all problems related to digestion will improve.
Along with it pantroprazole 40mg can be taken once daily to provide symptomatic relief in burping and bloating.
Some general instructions are-
Try to take lots of yoghurt in food.
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
No spicy oily food.
Take a natural and simple diet. This should consist of unrefined food such as whole grain cereals, bran, honey and lentils; green leafy vegetables, like spinach, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus, carrot.drinking water regularly keeps you hydratedNormally six to eight glasses of water should be taken daily as it is essential for digesting and dissolving food nutrients.The diet alone is not enough. Food should be properly chewed-each morsel for at least 20 times.
Thank you.
