eggs, potatoe and rice, boiled chicken and carrot. But sometimes even those would bother me on certain days. I've been doing my own journal of what I can eat and drink without having too much trouble. I follow basically the SCD diet and the low Fod Map diet. I also find that if I eliminated all wheat, (gluten) all dairy and anything that has sugar I am doing better. So it's fruit. vegetables and lean meat basically. And you are right as SCD will tell you certain foods and Fod Map will be the opposite on some of the foods so that is why you have to keep your own journal everyday of what you eat and drink and how you feel. I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune problem. I have pernicious anemia, gastritis and ibd -c, so I have pain everyday no matter what I do,eat or drink. I can't take meds such as zantac, Pepcid or protonix or Prilosec as I have very bad side effects from them so I use a few naturals.

I am in exactly the same boat as you blackrabbit. I've had this for 3 months and I just can't find anything I can eat without giving me issues. For the past 2 days I tried reducing the amount of fibers I ate (white bread toast, banana, carrots and soy milk) and instead only ate rice, chicken and plain crackers. Today I felt my stomach incredibly bloated and basically burped for 2 hours straight, so as soon as I got home I went back to eating banana and I just had some carrots along with the chicken and rice.

My doctor has been completely useless diet wise. After 10 weeks he sent me an "information about gastritis" sheet which said to avoid fatty, acidic, etc food, As if I hadn't been doing that already, unbelievable.

I'm going to start trying fod map stuff. Tomorrow I'll try strawberries in the morning and see how it goes. I think what you need to keep in mind is everything has to be in moderation. e.g. if you eat a banana and feel fine after it, don't *just eat bananas* because that might hurt you. Keep eating one a day and maybe a few days later try eating two and see how it goes.

I have no idea what to eat but I think it's a matter of trial and error and moderation. Above all things, keep yourself positive. I know this sucks so bad and I've never had such a bad health issue in my 27 years but we'll all make it through!

john1990 and blackrabbit I understand your frustrations - I pray every night for this to end! I don't suffer from the burning as much as others. I get night nausea, reflux and heartburn.

Crackers would have wheat gluten so it would cause issues. I also ate white bread thinking it helped when I had nausea but I just kept feeling crap.

I have since gone low gluten and low starch. I switched to eating gluten free crispbread instead of bread. I eat basmati rice (much less starch than white and less irritating to the tummy than brown rice). I also have banana and strawberries in a smoothie for breakfast and dont have dairy (I use lactose free milk but I do eat cheese)

I've recently added carrots and aubergine (eggplant) to my diet and occasionally eat potato and squash. I can also eat chicken (no skin) and a little bit of steak (no fat).

I cant touch onions, tomatoes, garlic, sodas and I try to stay away from sugar. I do have maybe 1 cup of coffee once in a while (the weak instant stuff). I did have a slice of pizza the other day ( cheese pizza with no onion) and I had no symptoms (although I had nausea late that night)

I agree its trial and error and eating in moderation! And loads of water - or you end up constipated like me half the time LOL
