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.
Hi Everyone,
I was diagnosed with a bladder infection a few days ago and was prescribed Macrobid for the infection. I'm supposed to take it with food and that's good since I have gastritis, but I'm starting to feel that familiar pain and burning on the left side. I was wondering if any of you have a good way to deal with antibiotics that keep your gastritis symptoms for flaring. Thanks for your help and I hope you all are doing well.

I recently had two doses of antibiotics for suspected infection and mercilfully it didn't upset the gastritis. Are you taking a probiotic at all? If not that would be a good place to start. If you are then I would double or triple the dose. The ab gave me heartburn though.
I hope the others can offer better advice.
Hang in there I know how scary this can be.

while the antibiotics must be taken with food, the probiotics are taken away from food. 1/2 before or 1 hour after. should be on the bottle.
