What is chronic C gastritis? How is it different from gastritis?
Can you eat yogurt? I found that settling along with bananas which sadly you can't eat.
I use to cook vegies and pure them to make patties. I also added minced beef or chicken or maybe salmon.

I am almost recovered completely from gastritis too, I've had it about 9 months.

I've found I can eat certain foods if their ground up or pured without a problem. I'm unable to eat a steak, but I can eat a hamburger. Like the eggs, I can't eat them hard boiled, but can eat them scrambled. I think because my stomach doesn't have to work so hard to digest the food. I try new things every so often and see how I'm feeling. It's been very hit or miss. From the posts I've read everyone is very different in what can set off the gastritis again.

Good luck in figuring out what works for you.

I am suffering from normal "gastritis". But there are these subtypes, type A, B and C. I think B is helicobacter pylori, A is autoimmune and C is toxic. So that's what I meant with "C gastritis" ;)

It's interesting that you can eat minced beef and burger! I will try that!
About the: same here! No hard boiled egg but scrambled egg!
In the beginning I even steamed chicken and pureed it with carrot and pasta (plus some oil). Felt like a baby when eating that ...

22lynn, can I ask what it feels like to be almost recovered from gastritis?

I guess I am just looking for some hope that I am getting better. What treatments did you use?

Lou, as far as foods I've been good with eggs, millet, chicken, potatoes, green beans, carrots, bananas, lactose free yogurt and olive oil.

Can't eat yoghurt because I am suffering from milk protein intolerance ... I am using extra vergine rapeseed oil instead of olive oil. I am tolerating that really well.
But the millet is worth a try! What do you do with millet? Millet porridge?

Pretty much just cook millet like you would rice. Just seems to have a bit more flavor, I add green beans to mine

Ok, thanks! I'll try that. I think I will also try brown rice flakes cooked with oatly drink ...

-Jane1986 - I guess I am healed and have been for a couple of years as I can safely eat most foods again. There are some ingredients I avoid as they cause an issue. I think the process and feeling, like gastritis will be an individual thing. By that I mean we might measure our healing in different ways.
I can eat at any restaurant now and I have my life back and no longer have to plan outings around my eating times etc. I'm always mindful of how far I've come but no longer live with pain or fear and food again is my friend.
- have you tried soy yoghurt?

Thank you it's nice to know there is hope and that one day I too won't have to plan everything around meals and shy away from social situations. Just one step at a time : )

Yes one step at a time and little victories. Social situations were hard but I always phoned ahead and never had any problems once I'd discussed my issues with the kitchen.
The sun will shine brightly and life will creep back into your life.

Can't agree more with the previous comments. Gastritis is one heck of a battle and you need not only discipline (in terms of eating the correct types & amounts of food) but also patience (you will have a lot of bumps along the road that seemingly lasts forever) to win the battle.

I think a lot of people get really bogged down (myself included) thinking about the future. Coming from experience, it is easy to not even see a light at the end of the tunnel at times.

With regard to the question I seem to tolerate:

-Rice
-Chocolate Chip Granola Bars (oddly enough)
-Deli Turkey
-Puffed Rice Dry Cereal

For breakfast, I usually eat some rice cereal with a granola bar and some quaker oatmeal squares. Then have 4 meals (all the exact same) of rice w/tumeric &a little salt, small serving of turkey, occasional slice of cheese, 1 serving oatmeal squares, 1 or 2 granola bars, & 1/2 serving pop chips.

I'd prefer to eat less to promote better healing & avoid setbacks but being someone who was 6ft1 150lbs prior to gastritis & is now 132lbs, I can't really afford to drop much lower.

I'm not too familiar with casein or histamine intolerances but I find granola bars go down very easily & are relatively high calorie.

LouFromGermany - How are you doing now? I am in the same situation. I have "Reactive Gastropathy" on my biopsy from the endoscopy. All of this started with doxycycline (Antibiotic).

What started your C Gastritis?
Do you think you will ever permanently heal from this or will you always have some parts of the stomach that never fully heal or reverse?

Good luck to everyone!

Take heart jane - I have been absolutely fine for five years after getting rid of my gasti without PPI or ant acids - and it smy owh greed and stupidity that I am back again.

Thanks Gwen. How long did it take you to get rid of gastritis the first time and what caused it for you in the first place? Also, what do you think was most beneficial in your healing?
