No, but a blood test confirmed that I was not gluten intolerant. A friend was told the same, but she chose to eliminate gluten & her gastritis cleared up. I'm seriously considering eliminating gluten to see if it helps.

Yes, my GP recommended it as well as my nutritionist and naturopathic doctor. Certain foods apparently can have an inflammatory effect on the body, including gluten and dairy, but also soy, corn, and nightshades, which includes potatoes (not sweet potatoes), tomatoes, eggplant, and all peppers and pepper-based spices like paprika. I'm told that once healed, I should be able to eat all these foods again.

Hi kmchef,

I just joined and I will say I have never been lactose intolerant, but since the gastritis diagnosis, I sure have. And, like you said, I hope I can have again, once healed.

I have been lacto intolerant midly, family members also, was told it was IBS but was confirmed a year ago as lactose intolerant, + borderline fructose which is making it very difficult. Sometimes severe IBS can mimic lacto intolerance, everyone I know who has IBS has different problems with different foods so best to test what foods you tolerate and what triggs it ie: fats, alcohol, vegs, milk all can cause terrible problems, try one food at a time once a week, wait see reaction, try again next week, etc etc dont reintroduce to many problem foods as you wont know which one it is. I hope this is helpful. All the best

lacto/fructose/mild gluten probs. I got told by my GP who is excellent, follow a FODMAP diet (info from dietician), gluten free, bland diet, trial and error when introducing as its now been over 4 years that Ive
been on a FODMAP diet as its been so bad with any foods. Cant even eat soya products in large amounts or lacto yoghurts, cheese or other products.

I was diagnosed as lactose intolerant in 2011 but now as I've healed from the gastritis I'm okay wit lactose again.
