Anyone??????

My Advice to you is to stop worrying about the weight... Don't let it get you down. I know its hard but after reading and going through this myself, the weight does come back as soon as you start adding more things to your diet and the anxiety decreases.

Even littlemart here who complained quite a bit about her weight has started to gain it back.

Just relax and try not to fixate on it. As long as you think you are eating enough.

It's weird, because i'm gaining weight with my Gastritis. I get more pain when my stomach is empty, so i always try to have something in there.

My advice is not to worry about it, in the past my worry about this has led me to overeat and push my stomach too far, which has only stopped it healing and meant I lost more weight in the long run.

As long as you are eating something, then your body will stop losing weight at some point. I was probably eating about 1500 calories for a while and I reached a weight which my body just didn't drop below. I took it easy on exercise and just ate what I could.

Any of you guys use Slippery Elm? I fixed some boiled chicken and some squash for lunch today.

I've seen people on the IBS use slippery elm. But it does bind to meds and supplements so it has to be taken 2 hours before or after meds.

I am gaining with my gastritis - I always feel a hole in my tummy which makes me eat so I am gaining - So hang in there eventually if you mix your diet you'll start picking up. What is slippery elm?

Yep... I got down to 82 lbs! And I am now holding around 86. Progress. It took over a year, but things are looking up. Hang in there... you will improve.

I've positively freaked OUT with the weight loss. A few weeks ago, I lost more during a gastritis attack. Now, I am so much better and eating my regular foods again. I have not gained the weight back (which is fine since I am overweight), but the weight has not gone down anymore. It's just a matter of time and healing, I've come to believe.

Have you tried probiotics?

What Probiotic would you suggest?

I also gained weight. Mine hurt much more when empty, so I was trying to keep something in there for the acid to eat as it were. I could not eat the solid protein I need to eat to lose weight and was eating rice, potatoes, pudding, and gained 40 lbs in the 27 months I was in flare. Still trying to get it back off.

anytime you lose is a good thing. But losing from not eating if that's what you meant..im that way also. I lost 5 pounds..
