Gastritis prevention

If the underlying cause of gastritis is preventable, then gastritis can be prevented and people can get gastritis relief.

• If alcohol consumption, smoking causes an individual's gastritis, treatment and prevention is stopping the consumption or use of these products.
• Avoid situations where chemicals, radiation or some toxin ingestion could occur.
• It may be more difficult to prevent some infectious causes of gastritis, but proper hygiene, hand washing, and eating and drinking only adequately cleaned or treated foods and fluids are healthy ways to decrease your risk of getting gastritis from infectious agents
