Get a QuoteWhat is gastritis?
Gastritis is a condition where the stomach lining becomes inflamed, which can cause symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, bloating, or indigestion. In the UK, it is relatively common and affects a significant number of adults at some point in their lives. Symptoms and severity can vary between individuals, and many people manage the condition with medication, lifestyle adjustments, or ongoing treatment.
A trip abroad with gastritis can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
How the right policy helps if you have gastritis:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
Travel advice for people with a digestive condition like gastritis
- Pack any gastritis medication you normally take
- Stay hydrated, especially in warmer climates
- Plan meals carefully, as diet can affect gastritis
- Research toilet facilities if your symptoms can be unpredictable
When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.
Direct Travel can consider cover for people with gastritis. The level of cover depends on how severe the condition is and how it is treated, so please answer every medical declaration question honestly and accurately.
