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.

hello new here so hope i do this right. i have had stomack probs all my life. they called it nervouis stomack in the 70"s, then later in life it was IBSw/ constapation, now they say it is erosive gastritis. i take may pills for these probs. also have a FATTY LIVER. that realy scares me. i suffer from extreem anxiaty/deppresion and PTSD. also throw in a side of agoraphobia. im just a mess, anyway i was wondering if anyone else out there has been diagnosed with EROSIVE GASTRITIS? they say i dont have an ulcer. i suffer daily from all the pain and if i eat the wrong thing wich seems to be everything. im realy suffering. take lots of meds and alot of times they dont work so good. just looking for some advice. i know i shouldnt somke but i do and prob allways will know its not the PC thing to say but im just being honest. anyoneelse? im old enough to remember when you could smoke everywere. but again im rambling. ok, thanks for listening

Try out the American Fare Diet and lose a lb a week. Depending on yoiur height and weight what calorie intake you should consume. But mostly remember just to lose a lb a week losing it faster harms your liver more.

Its a struggle

Also eat yogurt everyday its good for the old stomach,

Just Diagnosed with Gastritis...he did Not specify Erosive Gastrits, and mine is not Attributed to H. pylori , but to my Aspirin Therapy, Ibuprophen Usage, and Stress...

I Can Not eat anything with Spice right now...My Left side Lights up like Las Vegas IF I do...so am sticking to Foods with nothing on it cept a bit of salt and Fresh Garlic...he said No garlic, but that does Not bother me....and is a Natural Antibiotic...so I am Not giving it up...yet anyway...

As is Honey...I always use Honey as well, with my Tea, or on my Pork when I cook it...

I am Gonna get on top of this...I have had episodes where I swore I was just gonna DIE right there on the Toilet...Good Lord !!

Lets Just Calm ourselves...Get to Eating what is going to Make our Bellies HAPPY Again...A Happy Tummy is ALL I Strive for anymore !!

I Do Not Mind the Blander Foods...as it means No Pain for Me...

I Pray you get it Figured out what is setting urs off...and get the proper Care for it !!

Hugs !!
