Protocol for gastritis: this is a general guideline and does not replace a doctor's consultation, especially if there is a suspicion of ulcer, digestive bleeding or infection with Helicobacter pylori.

Objectives of the Protocol

1. Reduce inflammation and protect the gastric mucosa.
2. Lowering excessive acidity without completely blocking digestion.
3. Eliminate toxins and reduce oxidative stress.
4. Support mucosal healing.
5. Control of trigger factors, including H. pylori.

Dietary measures

🔹 Recommended foods

• Light soups and broths, no fried sauces.
• Bananas, ripe apples, pears, rice, boiled or baked potatoes.
• Plain yogurt or kefir (unless lactose intolerant).
• Lean meat (chicken, turkey, fish) prepared by boiling or baking.
• Soothing teas: chamomile, lime, marigold.

🔹 Foods to avoid

• Coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks.
• Fries, very fatty foods, fast food.
• Citrus fruits and raw tomatoes (high acidity).
• Hot spices (pepper, chili pepper).
• Chocolate, mint (may aggravate reflux).

🍵 Useful tip: a teaspoon of honey in the morning, on an empty stomach, can soothe the gastric mucosa.

Zeolite

Role: protection, detoxification and acidity reduction.

• Starting dose: on the first day 1 capsule of Zeolit Spectrum and increase by 1 capsule every day, until you reach 6 capsules per day (3 in the morning and 3 in the evening)
• Minimum duration: 4-6 weeks
• Important: separate administration of medication (minimum 2 hours)

Other useful supplements

1. For mucosal healing

• L-glutamine - amino acid that restores mucosal integrity: 5 g powder dissolved in water, in the morning on an empty stomach.
• Deglycyrrhizinized licorice extract (DGL): 300 mg 15 minutes before meals: calming and protective effect.

2. To reduce inflammation

• Vitamin D3 + K2 + magnesium: helps regulate immunity and healing.
• Liposomal Omega-3: systemic anti-inflammatory effect.

Zeolite may be beneficial in gastritis through several mechanisms:

1. Neutralizing excess stomach acid

• It reduces local acidity without completely blocking acid secretion, as proton pump inhibitors do, leading to a decrease in heartburn and epigastric pain, but without disrupting digestion in the long term.
• Gentle action, does not completely suppress gastric acid, so digestion remains functional

2. Protective effect on the gastric mucosa

• Zeolite has a fine texture and the ability to form a protective layer on the surface of the inflamed mucous membrane, which acts as a "gastric dressing", reducing irritation caused by acid, food or medication.
• Similar in effect to alginates or bismuth sulfate, but completely natural.
• This effect is very useful in erosive gastritis or those associated with reflux.

3. Binding toxins and free radicals

In gastritis, inflammation is maintained by bacterial toxins (from Helicobacter pylori or other bacteria) and free radicals.

Zeolite adsorbs:

• bacterial toxins, including ammonia produced by H. pylori,
• free radicals,
• some inflammatory molecules.

This action reduces oxidative stress and local inflammation, promoting mucosal healing.

4. Indirect effect on H. pylori

Zeolite is not an antibiotic, so it doesn't directly kill H. pylori, but it can:

• reduces the favorable environment for this bacteria by decreasing ammonia,
• improve the effectiveness of classic treatment,
• reduces symptoms even if the bacteria are not completely eradicated.
