Shayan Mineral Water for Gastritis
Shayan has been treating gastritis since 1818 — that was when Austro-Hungarian doctors first documented the therapeutic effect of the local springs. The bicarbonate-sodium composition of Shayan mineral water neutralizes excess stomach acid, relieves inflammation of the mucous membrane, and normalizes secretory function. Today, gastroenterologists recommend course treatment with mineral water as an important component of comprehensive gastritis therapy — and Shayan remains one of Ukraine's most effective resorts for this purpose.
For gastritis with low acidity
For hypoacid gastritis, mineral water stimulates gastric juice production and increases digestive enzyme activity. The correct intake regimen depends on the disease phase.
- Dose: start with 100–150 ml, gradually increasing to 200–250 ml
- In the acute phase: 30–40 minutes after a meal; in remission: 30 minutes before a meal
- Temperature: warm water (35–40°C)
- Drink quickly, in small sips
- 2–3 times a day, course 30–40 days, twice a year
For gastritis with high acidity
For hyperacid gastritis, Shayan mineral water binds excess hydrochloric acid, reducing heartburn and pain. Bicarbonates act as a natural antacid without disrupting the stomach's microflora.
- Dose: 150–200 ml per serving
- 1 hour before a meal; or 40–45 minutes after a meal if heartburn is a concern
- Warm, degassed (open and stir with a spoon)
- 3 times a day, course 30–40 days
For peptic ulcer disease
The intake protocol for peptic ulcer disease is similar to that for high-acidity gastritis, but should start with a smaller dose — 100 ml, gradually increasing to 150–200 ml. Mineral water accelerates the healing of erosions and ulcers, reduces pain, and normalizes stomach motility. Treatment course — 30–40 days under medical supervision.
Which Water to Choose
Shayanska-242 — available in bottles, suitable for prevention and mild forms of gastritis. Mineralization 3.06 g/L, high silicic acid content (90 mg/L). Shayanska-4 — available only at the Shayan pump room, mineralization 5.2 g/L, richer therapeutic composition. For serious course treatment, gastroenterologists recommend Shayanska-4 specifically — and that is the main reason to come to Shayan in person.
