Have you been tested for hpylori? I was feeling that way before treatment of hpylori, and for a while after, now a lot of that has gone, but I’m not better yet (been dealing with this since late september) I have a supplement called Gastro by Transformations enzymes and that has been the most helpful/noticeable supplement I’ve taken so far. But I’m also on omeporazole 40 mg. My dr said I could take h2 blocker and gaviacon, but haven’t needed it so much since starting that supplement. I have used dgl and slippery elm with very little difference.

Hi
New to this group. Been dealing with GI issues for many years. Last summer around August I started having diarrhea and general GI issues. I finally went to see a GI ARPN. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Following that I had some sort of infection which the colonoscopy triggered. I took two very powerful anti biotics and ended up really sick and in the emergency room. They took me off of the antibiotics and put me on Omeprezole. I have been taking that for a few months now. I am still having GI issues (some newer symptoms) but daily and significant. I saw the ARNP for a follow up today and I was most dissatisfied. She was so dismissive and now I am totally discouraged. I have gastritis, deododenitus (not sure of spelling of this). I am really feeling bad and tried to convey to her how much this is interfering with my quality of life. She seemed not to have any empathy at all and was wishy washy about everything that she said. I take an antidepressant and some other meds and she kept referring to my being on "psych" meds. Welll I wasn't depressed going in there but am feeling totally confused about the treatments that she is prescribing. She asked if I wanted to come back or not. I was stunned. She is prescribing medications and she was ready to just let me go it alone. Any ideas or thoughts would help. These GI problems have significantly affected my life in some many ways. Thanks

@mamie1890 first and far most get a new doc or ARNP because the one you are dealing with clearly does not care. And GI issues can definitely take over your life. I am dealing with issues right now with my GI system that has me not able to work my full time job. So I do understand but I have a GI doctor who cares and who helped me get better before so I know he will help me get better again this time. So you definitely need to get the support and help from a doctor who cares.

Hi I am new to this sort of thing and have been reading all the reviews and it is exactly wjatbu have been going through I got diagnosed with chronic gastritis in January an have been through he'll with it ever since. The doctor has put me on pantaprozole 40mg twice a day and peptac and ranitidine but nothing seems to be working and I can feel myself going into severe depression with it as I have lost so much weight and am sick most days with it. I have completely changed my diet to all healthy foods and done a lot of research of what foods are suitable to eat with gastritis. I am currently going through accupunture as I seen online it has a 97% success rate for curing gastritis and I am currently on my 4th session and still no improvement but reckons it will take 12 -20 sessions to fully heal my stomoch and will keep you updated on how it goes. I was wondering if anyone has tried anything that helps with the sickness would be very much appreciated. If anyone wants to know anything please feel free to ask.

anyone having tingling arms with gastritis?

Did the acupuncture ever seem to help!?
