Gastritis protocol: this is a general guide and does not replace medical consultation, especially if there is suspicion of ulcer, digestive bleeding, or Helicobacter pylori infection.

Protocol objectives

1. Reducing inflammation and protecting the gastric mucosa.
2. Reducing excessive acidity without completely blocking digestion.
3. Eliminating toxins and reducing oxidative stress.
4. Supporting mucosal healing.
5. Control of triggering factors, including H. pylori.

Dietary measures

🔹 Recommended foods

• Light soups and broths, without frying.
• Bananas, baked apples, pears, rice, boiled or baked potatoes.
• Plain yogurt or kefir (if no lactose intolerance).
• Lean meat (chicken, turkey, fish) prepared by boiling or baking.
• Soothing teas: chamomile, linden, calendula.

🔹 Foods to avoid

• Coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks.
• Fried foods, very fatty foods, fast food.
• Raw citrus fruits and tomatoes (high acidity).
• Spicy seasonings (pepper, hot chili).
• Chocolate, mint (may worsen reflux).

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

Zeolite

Role: protection, detoxification, and acid reduction.

• Starting dose: on the first day 1 capsule of Zeolit Spectrum and increase by 1 capsule each day until reaching 6 capsules per day (3 in the morning and 3 in the evening)
• Minimum duration: 4–6 weeks
• Important: administration separately from medications (at least 2 hours apart)

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.
• Deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract (DGL): 300 mg 15 minutes before meals: calming and protective effect.

2. For reducing inflammation

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

Zeolite can be beneficial in gastritis through several mechanisms:

1. Neutralization of excess gastric acid

• Reduces local acidity without completely blocking acid secretion, as proton pump inhibitors do, leading to a reduction in heartburn and epigastric pain, but without disrupting long-term digestion.
• It has a mild 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 mucosa, which acts as a “gastric bandage”, reducing irritation caused by acid, food, or medication.
• Similar to the effect of alginates or bismuth sulfate, but completely natural.
• This effect is very useful in erosive gastritis or those associated with reflux.

3. Binding of 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 does not directly kill H. pylori, but it can:

• reduce the favorable environment for this bacteria by lowering ammonia,
• improve the effectiveness of classic treatment,
• reduce symptoms even if the bacteria is not completely eradicated.
