In any of the International classifications of diseases can be detected item, dedicated to alcoholic gastropathy. This name is more scientific. In the home called severe burns of the mucous alcohol – "alcoholic gastritis".
The peculiarity of this species of gastritis is in the nature of. Instead of the inflammation in this case, the gastric mucosa is destroyed by chemical burn, caused by the consumption of beverages containing ethyl alcohol. With respect to symptoms and diagnosis, they are no different from those, in the case of the other common types of gastritis. The same applies to healing techniques.
Alcoholic gastritis: what is?
As mentioned above, the disease is typically for those, who is not committed to a sober lifestyle. These people stomach lining, constantly staying in contact with alcohol, dire defeat, or the disease becomes chronic form.
Unfortunately the digestive system required to meet not only food, but harmful substances for the body. Only 20 percent of the total content of the glass or of the stack is picked up by the blood, and everything else from the stomach goes directly into the intestine.
The delicate mucous membrane of the stomach is in an unenviable position. Ethanol cruelly and mercilessly burn, because of this, it is covered with tiny ulcers, starts to bleed, and blood vessels inevitably come in poor condition. Of course, after the cessation of normal circulation of blood is the mucosa becomes unusable, becoming a victim of his own gastric juice and aggressive alcohol.

Forms alcoholic gastropathy
Drinker exposes himself to the risk of becoming hostage to the chronic or acute alcoholic gastritis, ie. one of its forms. With the aggravation of acute alcoholic gastropathy has to face all, who has an addiction to alcohol.

The development of the pathology has a form of a sine wave, ie. replaced prolonged remission (weakening slightly noticeable unpleasant symptoms) come aggravation. First, cease to exist, some cells of the mucosa, then comes the turn of other. The stomach can not cope with their tasks. High probability, further gastric mucosa will become very slim, atrophy of the gland, producing gastric juice, appear ulcers.
