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.
Hey All
So I have suffered with Gastritis since 2009 and it has got to the point now where I am literally scared to eat anything.
I could eat anything and Im always bloated and in excrutiating pain
I also suffer with IBS which does not help.
But the constant flatulance and methane burps and feeling nausea its too much I am a big lover of food but I do not enjoy food like I used to anymore because I am either running backwards and forwards to the toilet, being sick, feeling nauseas, farting, and burping I know it is so embarrasing right?!
I am currently on Gaviscon tablets for it and they do help but sometimes it takes 3-5 days for my stomach to settle again.
Is Gastritis something that goes eventually?
Or once you have had it are you stuck with it?
If I am stuck this way forever I just do not think I could deal with that.
Right now I feel so poorly with it.
Its never ending.....

My intake of Gaviscon would be about 5 in a year.
This time round I have it again but with extra symptoms in the chest throat and back which bloody hurt and burn. Looking like inflammation of the esoph. This is not responding like for gastritis which really bugs me. Social life is poo - no point. Friends do not understand. But I did see it off before the reflux got me so I don't see why you cant.
There is a wealth of knowledge on here and I know of many who can help you out - and they will.
Stick on here.

Look at the site in my profile for a regimen which helped me and some others on this site. I created it as to stop spending so much time posting essentially the same things to new people.
Yes i get acid reflux and gastritis all at once and i also get pain in my back and chest :(
Joham, coffee has caffeine which is a no no but can you not have de-caf. Or is it actual coffee that is bad for reflux?
G.
In the past I read that de caf increases the acidity in the stomach more than regular coffee. It is still considered a major refluxer as well I think and both types relax the esophagus a lot.
Just not good at all if you want to get better.
The reality of getting better is a tough one but it can be done. it just takes a lot of work to get there.
There is a lot of hope. You just have to stick to most of the rules most of the time.
The discipline part is the hardest part, no doubt!
