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.

Feel better at home (scared)

Yesterday, I thought I was feeling a little better at home so I went out to the store. When I got there my stomach felt all messed up. Later on that evening I started dwelling in it and thinking that maybe I am not making progress. Please tell me I am not going crazy. I woke up again today in a panic.

your panic is a huge contributor, if not the cause, of the problem. Chill out!!! Ease into it knowing it will be better, relax! It does get better, but you have to give it time, bland food and meds. It's way too early to see progress.

now this suggestion may make some of you gain a second opinion about me..if you know me from previous posts..

but all this extreme anxiety and gastritis makes me wish i could still
use marijuana. marijuana is amazingly good at making your stomach feel better. they give it to cancer patients who have very bad nausea, and it also calms you down, improves your mood, and calms your stomach very effectively. not to mention it increases your appetite and makes food taste amazing.

if any of you are at your wits end..i would suggest this. altough in some people it will may make you more paranoid.

if i did not have mental health issues that prevented me from using mj, it would be my go to medicine for this.

when i was younger i used to smoke it all the time, now of course i haven't in 8 years or more. but i know from experience that i hardly ever had a day where i was sick when i used that stuff.

@tmp I know... I just lost complete control and feel like I mentally regressed some. it freaked me out how my sub conscious did that to me. I still want to know if anyone feels better at home then once they go out symptoms are more apparent.

It terrifies me when I have any relapse and my first thought is I'm back at the beginning again. I then realise I'm in pain and fragile but so far from those dark, early days.
Have you heard of EFT tapping? Maybe Google it then check YouTube for instructions. It is great for physical and emotional pain.
