Gastritis: Symptoms, Causes, and Holistic Treatment

What is Gastritis?
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining that can cause burning pain, bloating, nausea, or indigestion. It may appear suddenly (acute gastritis) or develop gradually (chronic gastritis). Left untreated, it can increase the risk of ulcers or more serious digestive issues.

Common Symptoms of Gastritis

  • Burning or aching pain in the stomach
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Bloating or feeling full quickly
  • Indigestion or burping
  • Dark stools (in more severe cases)

What Causes Gastritis?

Gastritis can have many triggers, including:

  • Helicobacter pylori infection
  • Overuse of NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen)
  • Excess alcohol use
  • Stress and lifestyle factors
  • Autoimmune conditions that affect the stomach lining
  • Underlying imbalances in diet, hormones, or gut health

How Aligned Modern Health Approaches Gastritis

We treat gastritis by addressing both symptoms and underlying causes, using a whole-body approach:

Functional Medicine & Clinical Nutrition

Our functional medicine providers use advanced testing to uncover root causes—such as H. pylori, food sensitivities, or nutrient deficiencies. Personalized nutrition plans reduce irritation, heal the gut lining, and improve long-term digestive health.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can help relieve gastritis symptoms like nausea, bloating, and stress-related flare-ups. By supporting digestive balance and reducing inflammation, acupuncture complements dietary and medical care.

Lifestyle & Stress Support

Chronic stress can worsen gastritis. Our providers offer strategies for stress management, sleep, and mindful eating to help calm digestion and restore balance.

When to Seek Care

If you experience ongoing stomach pain, unexplained nausea, or changes in digestion, it’s important to get evaluated. With early care and the right support, gastritis can be managed effectively and your digestive health restored.
