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 Jamie. I'm sorry for your painful ordeal I just replied to Sara, most recent post on this board. Please read. I was diagnosed with Hpylori last September. For a week I felt the worse heartburn, painful stomach feeling. Like some soup was boiling in my stomach. I went to see my doctor and they sent me to the lab to do the breath test where you breath in a bag. The next day I get a call that I tested positive for Hpylori. I was put on triple therapy for 2 weeks. Five weeks later GI doc put me on Omeprazole and scheduled me for endoscopy 6 weeks later. All was fine minus inflammation of stomach lining. Sadly, these doctors have one goal in mind. They will do what they were trained to do which is send you on your way with a prescription that masks the problem. I would encourage you to take your health into your own hands and seek natural alternatives for your healing.

You can try Slippery Elm and Marshmallow Root. At one point I was taking them religiously every 4 hours. They were VERY soothing.
I feel your pain as I've been dealing with this for 6 months now and have lost 49 lbs. I do believe I am on the upside!
Just keep in mind that what works for one person may not work for another.

Hi
Please read this if nothing is helping u out ...I am from India and you must be knowing about "Ayurveda" which is an ancient method of treating diseases by natural ways.I have long suffered from various problems like stomach ache,gas,acidity and the list goes on...took several medicines visited a lot of doctors but nothing helped....I started loosing weight and I ate very less....became weak and depressed...then a person(would call him an angel) told me about "navel displacement" which is referred to as "Dharan Uttarna" in Hindi language.After doing simple exercises empty stomach in the morning and thereby eating jaggery cured me within 5 days from all my stomach ailments.If u search the internet about it u can find a great deal of information and the exercise details(yoga) to be done to cure it.
