Gastritis Support Group
Gastritis is a medical term for inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It means that white blood cells move into the wall of the stomach as a response to some type of injury. Gastritis has many underlying causes, from infection with the bacterium H. pylori, bile reflux, or excessive consumption of alcohol or certain foods or drugs like aspirin.
Hi all Im at my wits end as I had a couple of good days but today my pain is back. Its been really bad all day as soon as I tried to eat. I haven't eaten anything today that I shouldn't have. Yesterday I had some fried chicken and pop which I shouldn't have done. Im wondering if my symptoms will ever go or if it will keep flaring up. I don't know why it has persisted so long. Do you think it won't go away unless I eat more friendly foods? It seems to flare up whatever I eat some days. Its funny how it flares up the next day after Ive eaten something. I have cut out coffee and chocolate and now Im on two PPIs a day but no relief. The Gaviscon doesn't do anything. I wonder if to keep on at the gastro to find out the cause of this in the first place. Im worried they will sign me off and jjust leave it. The doctor mentioned something about scans though so Im wondering what they may be. Has anyone heard of hormones or other health problems affecting the stomach? I have had a hormone problem but don't know if it would be that.
Not sure about the hormones, but it's sure a possibility.
Feel better soon!
I know I've been lucky as I've not craved any of the foods I couldn't eat. Its like my body knows what isn't right for me. When I do try new foods I have the smallest amount. I had 3 snow peas yesterday, cooked within an ince of the lives and so far so good. I'll try bok choy again over the weekend and then take another run at snow peas.
Hang in there and please, please try to change your diet for now and see if it does make a difference. I hate to see you suffering so much pain.
Take care,
cas
As I mentioned elsewhere on this forum, I take Neurontin for my fibromyalgia, and found by accident that it sometimes helps. It's a prescription med, of course, and you'll want to check it out with your doc.
Sipping on chamomile tea is very soothing, too. Sometimes a nap helps!

I'm in Australia.
The only thing that eases my gastritis pain is a wheat bag nice and warm on my belly and sometimes bicarb (cooking) soda can help. I can't take anything stronger than paracetamol and they do nothing so I don't bother with them etiher.
We call it eggplant or aubergine. Courgettes for us in Oz are zucchini. I can tell you one thing for sure...I'd never need a reason to NOT eat Haggis. I may have Scottish blood but that was four generations ago! LOL
