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.
Yeah!Ive just noticed that I gained some weight.Mainly in the tighs and hips but that's ok.Ive finally managed to progress from size 4 to size 6 and now im buying some new clothes.Hell yeah!It feels good to be looking somewhat normal again.Now I just have to make sure this gainweight is not going to get out of control haha.
Well what Ive been doing for the past few months is eating small meals every 2-3h and that meant I had 5-6 small size meals a day.I also added banana,almond milk coconut oil smoothie to my menu which I have been drinking pretty much every day for the past month or so.Besides Ive been eating pretty balanced diet with lots of fish 2-3 times a week and some chicken and turkey,a bit of rye bread every day, a cup of coffee with a small sweet treat(no chocolate!) every afternoon.I also make sure I have 2 tablespoons of coconut oil every day.These 2 spoons add up to 180 cal so that's almost like a meal itself.Finally Ive been taking a couple of supplements as recommended by my ND doctor.I do a probiotic,vit D3, magnesium, iron and flaxseed every day.
To sum up,after a year of fighting gastritis I feel like Ive made some progress.There is hope,guys so don't loose it!

I remember how excited I was when the scales went the other way. Onward and upward.
coconut oil i remember using this a lot back when i had gallbladder problems, it doesn't require bile for digestion and it is given to those in very bad digestive shape and are losing weight (colitis,gallbladder,etc). It may be the reason why you are gaining weight, glad you can handle it !
I have used coconut oil for cooking for the last year for health benefits but have started to have half a tsp daily and not sure if it is coincidence but my tummy is not giving me the same problems it did and I have put on half a stone!
I also use it for a mouth wash or pulling as it is called.
So pleased for you x
