Does gastritis affect bowel movements?



Gastritis may affect the bowel movements, which may occur as a result of poor digestion due to insufficient secretion of stomach acid and pepsin.

Gastritis often has gastrointestinal dysfunction with varying degrees of dyspepsia, which affects the process of digestion and absorption of food. In particular, chronic atrophic gastritis has gastric mucosal atrophy, leading to insufficient secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, resulting in poor digestion and absorption of food, affecting the character of stools and leading to unformed stools or constipation.

Patients suffering from gastritis, if there is a change in the character of stool, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to take oral gastric power drugs, such as domperidone, mosapride, and so on, as well as drugs to help digestion, such as lactobacillus tablets, and so on, and regulate the intestinal flora of drugs, such as bifidobacterium tetrapunctate tablets, and so on. Diet is mainly based on light, low salt, low fat, low greasy food, avoid eating spicy stimulation cold food.

Patients with gastritis who have a change in the stool pattern should go to the hospital and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
