Answer

Dear User,

There are two possibilities.

1. You may not be having gastritis after all!. It may be something like lactose intolerance or gall stone disease.

2. You may be having gastritis which may be aggravated by milk products.

The best advice would be to get an opinion from a gastro-enteriologist who can sort you up.

Meanwhile read below a guide on self-care.

Self-care

* Eating habits. Just as important as what you eat is the manner in which you eat. Eat moderate proportions, eat at regular times and relax while you eat.

* Maintain a healthy weight. Digestive problems can occur no matter what your weight. But heartburn, bloating and constipation tend to be more common in people who are overweight. Maintaining a healthy weight can often help prevent or reduce these symptoms.

* Exercise. Aerobic exercise that increases your breathing and heart rate also stimulates the activity of intestinal muscles, helping to move food waste through your intestines more quickly. It's best to aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity every day. Check with your doctor before you begin an exercise program.

* Manage stress. Stress increases your risk of heart attack and stroke, dampens your immune system and can trigger or aggravate skin problems.
