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.
This morning my stomach was not doing well. I guess the two beer last night did not help. Early morning discomfort has been one of my biggest problems as of late with this stress and anxiety I deal with. My doctor said that in the middl of the night your stomach produces more acid. I occassionaly try Zantac after dinner, but does not seem to help that much. Any suggestions? Also, if anyone can elaborate on what things they typically eat for dinner that would be awesome.
Same goes for food when your stomach is damaged.
Start taking 2-4 capsules of PepZin GI per day. Avoid spicy foods, coffee, orange juice. If possible, avoid alcohol, or at least moderate it.
Don't load up your stomach shortly before you go to bed.
If your condition worsens, send me a message.
I eat white rice, plain chicken, apple sauce, bread (no butter), and drink plenty of water. I through in a vegie once in a while (too much fiber causes major upset).
Of course, I'm not perfect, so I occasionally mess-up and eat bad things (small quantities).
I also take Protonix 40mg twice a day. And, a Probiotic every other day.
I never drink full strength Fruit Juice, I always water it down (half water - half fruit juice).
Good luck to you!!
