dont get ahead of yourself. You have a scope coming up and should learn more. You dont have enough information yet, just try to take it easy.

I have. The ENT put me on a steroid inhaler that you swallow not actually inhale. Singular/Flovent is likely what they'll give you.
Don't give up hope.
The moment you do that...that's when the negativity in your mind...starts wreaking havoc upon your body.
You will likely be told not to have dairy, gluten, eggs, shellfish, pinenuts, and treenuts. This is all about food allergy/sensitivity. You'll have to work with an allergist and nutritionalist
to work foods back into your diet.
Trust me...I get feeling afraid.
But I promise...provided you follow the proper bland diet for a few months at the very least....
there's light at the end of the tunnel.
However...you truly have to adhere to this diet.
You cannot fall off the wagon without consequence.
There was a time I thought I was going to die. Truly.
I thought that this was the end of my life happening...
I lost so much weight...was so frail, disheartened..
I was giving up on myself.
Then something clicked...and I had to retrain my thought process.
I prayed...a lot.
I put my faith where it belonged...and kept striving to get healthy.
And I am still doing this. I am not 100% where I can eat whatever I please...but I'm introducing things very, very, very slowly.
It's a learning process.
Keep your chin up. You're worth it to fight for your life to be healthy.
Just keep reminding yourself that this too shall pass.
Because it will.

way to go mmw73. Glad you are feelimg better.

what nice encouraging words mmw73 :) . I am really glad too that youare feeling better you seem such a nice person.

I know what you all mean. Had gastritis for five years. Sometimes I can go weeks with no problem and eat and drink all the bad things. Then it flares. It has flared again quite badly with trapped wind so I am looking into things to change in my diet. Like cows milk and the obvious bad things. I have always loved to make smoothies every day and I put brocolli and kale and spinach in them raw. But my hubbs was chatting to a doctor in the pub the other night and told him about my stomach problem and he said to definitely not to eat any raw veg and we are not designed to eat it raw. We are meat eaters!! If you can't burp after eating he said you have not digested the food. Then he said notice when a dog eats grass it will be sick within 5 mins because it has not digested it. So I have stopped the raw veg smoothis. Also he said not to put fruit in a smoothie with veg anyway because it will sit and ferment. And never to eat fruit after a meal for the same reason. It is all such a pain but at least we can all chat about it.
mmw73 you are right in that negativity wreaks havoc especially when you lose weight as you think the worst! I have totally lost my appetite. I have not gone back to the docs, I had the camera 5 years ago for gastritis. I have a feeling this maybe Hiatal Hernia, I notice you are have put that down.
BLH123 I can go for weeks with no symptoms then if I am silly it will come back. I am actually thinking of going all organic and see a nutritionalist. All illnesses are caused by inflammation and I get my head bombarded with info I research on the net and in books as to what to eat alkaline to assist with healing. Maybe a one to one professional is the way forward if you can afford to do it. If I go back to the doc, she will give me PPIs and book me for the camera then more PPIs so I am holding off to see if I can do it myself. I suppose I am lucky in one way as when I get the wind up and calm the heartburn down I actually feel ok, I remember when I was on the gastritis site a couple of years ago, I became friends with a group of ladies whom I still to this day email as they have become friends. One lives in Florida and is lovely, I live in England but the poor girl was in agony all the time. Another was in constant pain even at night in bed. So for any of you in constant pain, stay on here and we can come up with different ideas.
Glad to be back on and meet new friends even though I would rather not.

Thanks for all the information. This does make me feel better. For me I over think things, especially when it comes to my health. I will look up things on the net and see if they lead to cancer, etc. For example, when I looked up stuff on Eosinophillis I was reading things about white blood cells and the effect so immediately I started to think cancer and think I am going to be dying. I do plan on going to see a professional counselor. I bring TONS of stress into my life by worry. I have become a constant worry wart. Right now I have this stomach thing going on, I am not happy with my current job, and I recently separated from my wife back in January and I miss the family life. I think the kids are handling it fine but I just MISS not seeing them everyday and being able to put them to bed and wake them up, etc. Its been a rough 2015!!!!! Right now I take Omeprazole twice a day. My GI doctor advised me last week to take Zantac but I tried that for like two days and it just seemed to cause discomfort. I left him a message about it and told him I was going to go back on Omeprazole but have not heard back. Please keep the feedback coming....its a great help!!! God bless you all!

hang in there... it could just be from allergies alone.. it is hard not to worry. But I agree with prayinglots.. you dont have enough info yet and frankly if you have been googling... there is a ton of incorrect info on the internet.

I don't have it but have spoken to people that do. I think it is essentially an allergy so you have to figure out what your triggers are and then avoid them. So long term your symptoms should decrease as you eliminate the things you react to and the Eosinophils in your digestive tract reduces.

WIth my endo and colonoscopy coming up on the 28th I am really working on eatting good over the next 10 days. This morning I had some cheeries and banana with skim milk (I used a spoon that had holes in it so to minimize the milk intake. Stomach has been doing fine. I just had another banana as a mid morning snack. I have a can of Campbells Chick and RIce soup for later. Drinking water right now. Trying to remain positive and not think the worse.

You will no doubt keep worrying coz that is your nature - exactly as mine. I had a massive scare recently with a water infection - never had anything so scary in my life - I went to the docs the same morning and he tried to look cool but I knew he was not happy and fast tracked me for a camera. Two days later I was called in to our local hospital to have it done. I was beside myself because I did say to the doc - you are thinking along the lines of cancer and he said I have to be honest yes!!!!!!! So I was sure that was it for me. But it wasn't and as my hubbs said - all that worrying for nothing. So now my gastritis has flared back up - with some different symptoms - I can't help feeling - oh here we go again - and start worrying just like you. But then you get sick and tired of worrying and it makes you feel like poo anyway. It makes any tummy problems much worse, so wait it out until thre 28th, although I must say from what I am reading of your symptoms, its not sounding serious. Please hang in there you worry head xxxx

My last endoscopy was on March 2014.....no cancer....just gastritis and esophagitis. My last colonoscopy was about 2 years ago and no polyps.
