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.

Does anyone have gastritis and constipation. I have a panic disorder and anxiety and was told this could cause constipation because my gastritis is from stress and constipation. I've noticed several people on here have said they are having anxiety since my flare up my anxiety and panic have been awful, now I've hurt my knee and it's really high alot of worry.

I was told today that anxiety and panic could cause constipation as well as stress which I'm under right now has anyone experienced this or heard of it, ( The constipation) I think we all know anxiety and GI issues go hand in hand.

Stress affects the body in a variety of ways - and yes it too can cause constipation. Are you taking any meds for your anxiety? How much water do you drink daily?

Try watered down G2 and that should help some also. Pedilyte is another alternative. Additionally, if you can handle things like caned peaches or pears (packed in water, no sugar added) or honey, they may also assist. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

I've been on xanax for years. I take 6mg a day I used to take 11mg very bad panic attacks and anxieyt. Plus the gastritis made it worse.
I think I'm over the gastritis what can I start to introduce in my diet. I stay away from sugar spices fried food carbonation drinks, my gi dr said I could eat tomatoe sauce.but spagetti it's not good for you a alot usually I eat whole grain.
I just stared prozac again and I wonder if that is causing it to be so bad.
I take miralax and konsyl 2 times a day and a stool softener but it seems like it's very hard to get any thing out right now it was coming out good but looked like puddin maybe I might have the D/C the prozac it has helped calm me down I don't know why things have to be so complicated .I'm going to stop to prozac and see what happens, thanks for all the advice.

I can relate to your situation, I too suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I also suffer from gastritis and constipation. I'm still trying to find a solution to these illnesses because the really affecting my life. I'm currently taking Zoloft 100mg at night and for my constipation i'm taking a powder mixture called Naturplus.
I take two tablespoons of the powder in a big glass of water twice a day. It helps me go at least twice a day. It's a natural product that has moringa, artichoke, and chia seeds. It really helps me a lot. I stay away from Gluten. Its a pain but it really helps.
As far for gastritis its been hard to find a good solution. But what I've notice is that eating rice and potato really helps my stomach stay calm...I stay away from spices as much as I can. Ive stayed away from raw vegetables and fruits as well..
I'm still trying to find things that work for me but with this things i'm doing it has help a lot.
I know its a hard way to live but I hope my story can help you in some ways.
