himynamesjames (Gastritis)
In there last 4/5 months I have been diagnosed by doctors as having, gastritis and dyspepsia symptoms. I get a really bad attack around once every 2 weeks and it really is bad, i have been to the A and E department 4 times this year now with this. If I over eat r have some thing like raw onions that will trigger it next morning. The pain is on another level and feels awful you can't lie down or sit still and its very worrying. The last attack i had I was actually sick 3 times.

I took Prevacid 30 mg. in 2010 for 3 weeks and it worked. This was before I realized my troubles were related to my needing my gallbladder removed.

Prevacid has been the best for me and also has had the least negative side effects.
