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.

Confused a lot!

Yup. I just cannot see light end of the tunnel. I don't know what must I do.

Scoped and diagnosed mild chronic gastritis a year ago and my main symptom is nausea.

Met 4-5 diff docs and they all said your nausea is totally about anxiety, your stomach is ok.

I went another GI professor a month ago and he seems pretty sure that my nausea is related to anxiety. He said %50 of population has chronic gastritis, so it's not much important thing.

Every doc I've met said that don't do any diet plans just eat whatever you want. Of course avoid spicey things and herbs and that's all.

I cannot decide what type of foods irritate my stomach cause any food hurt my stomach sometimes, but sometimes it sit well. Even coke, pizza or something.

Any idea on this?

What should I do?

Are you taking any acid blockers like nexium or Zantac? taking Dexilant (which is like Nexium) and keeping a good BLAND diet seem to help me a lot. Do not eat junk like Pizza and other stuff because it makes your stomach work harder and maybe produce too much acid....have you had this nausea everyday for a year? or do you get it in spells?

My main symptom is nausea also but mine comes and goes....I went all of December and January with out nausea but I have been feeling it a bit since Wednesday.

Mine is like yours. Come and go. But most of the time, it's with me. I had pretty good times 3-4 months ago. I was almost %100 but eating salmon evey day destroyed everything.

I don't take any acid blocker but my scoper doc and other docs I've met said that you can take PPI if you wish. So I'd take omeprazole 20 mg a day and eat bland (oats, basmati rice, chicken breast, cooked veggies, a bit of yogurt, banana, papaya and that's all)

Yeah I think this gastritis will heal when it wants too really....I think taking bland meals and making sure not to irritate the stomach is the best you can do.....the rest will happen on it;s own time..... I know now what they mean so when they say patience is a virtue.
