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.

Dietician appointment

Had my first visit to dietician today, waited 2 months. She said I have a good diet, but I needed to add more ofa variarty of foods. Try one new thing a day at a time, and she gave me a list of items to choose from. I was surprised to told me to start with all naturnal creamy peanut butter, on rice cakes or gluten free toast. She said it's good for you and shouldn't affect the gastritis or gastropareisis.
What do you think?

I'd love to hear some ideas from that list :) I'm so tired of my 10-15 food item ensemble.

I couldn't eat anything sticky like peanut butter at my worst, even honey would cause pain, but I can handle it when my flare is down.

I went to a Dietician too. And to be honest alls Doctors, Dieticians and so called Experts have no clue about Gastritis and what food we can eat. :/ But that's just my experience.

My experience is also yours Herriehmann. I sent letters to every AMA state president and the national president in Australia pointing this out. I got a couple of replies. One of my suggestions was to come to this site and see first hand what we go through.
Without my naturopath and acupuncturist I would be walking in the wilderness.
I wonder at her suggesting peanut butter. Peanuts are the hardest of the legumes to digest. Maybe go to a health store and try almond or cashew butter first. Just a thought. I can eat peanuts now but took over three years to brave them.

THAT. I told my doctor about how I'm afraid to travel because I can't eat anything, and she said "travel away! I have food allergies and I travel" yea, what's the problem, right?

Case and point - I made 2 teas today, chamomile for me and peppermint for my husband. I absentmindedly started to drink one thinking "hell.. this chamomile is goood!" only to realize I'm into the peppermint. I'm now paying for it.

I saw 3 RD/nutritionists. Only 1 really helped and she's the holistic nutritionist who uses only whole foods or food-based natural supplements. Others are pretty clueless about prescribing vitamin supplements that made me more tired. Why? Because I'm already underweight and undernourished and non-food-based supplements zapped more energy from my body for digestion.

I also went to a Naturopath who specializes in nutrition, she helped me the most. But, I figured I'd give this RDD, a chance to see if I could get some info, This RDD mother has Gastroparesis, so she was more familiar with this disease then other dieticans.

My naturopath was and remains my knowledge life line. This dietician has other background knowledge. Have you tried the peanuts? I would be really cautious. They are legumes and very hard to digest so could cause issues at this stage. You can soak them over night in water as this leaches the toxins. Rinse them well and eat in a couple of days.
