Hello Terri002 ,

I think its called natures force ginger capsules. I really only take them if nausea is a little more than I can handle on my own :) . I do not think I have heard of yours here in my country though. I took the natural route but it was a personal choice as the ppi didnt relieve my symptoms as the doctors claimed it would do. My homeopath on the other hand helped me a tremendous amount with info and advice on top of my natural meds.
Hi Lu , I think I mentioned before I am a bit of a ninny when it comes to pain and feeling ill. So obviously I would do anything to avoid the pain etc... thats why the diet was not such a big issue , and I stuck to it like freaking glue :). I am so sorry about your nausea , I absolutely hate being nauseas so know what you feel like. Lu how long you say you have gastritis? and how does the slippery elm work for you? we dont get coconut water here. If I want some I would have to import it... wouldve like to try that when I felt so yucky.

Seeinglight, is your main symptom pain? For me, it's nausea. Sometimes I have the burning in my stomach, but that doesn't bother me as it's not pain...just warmth. It's the nausea that makes me feel awful and hard to function. The PPIs do seem to help, so am sticking to them for now (take it 2x a day). To answer your questions...gastritis started for me the beginning of March this year. I think the slippery elm helps, but it's hard to say. Not sure about the coconut water or aloe vera juice. You don't have health stores where you are that sells them? Guess coconut water is the new trend here and it's even popping up in supermarkets. Slippery elm and aloe vera juice are from a local health store.

Hello Lu
No my main symptom was feeling general not well coupled with nausea and then pain. We do have health stores here but the coconut water seems to be somewhat exotic. We get coconut milk though. Well if your ppi's are working stick to it. there so much else going on with this , no need to worry about something that does work :) . I forgot to add I also take a probiotic now and multivitamin. Keep the faith Lu promise you will get more and more better days. I also hate being nauseas... and I rarely have it these days

Am sorry you deal with nausea on top of pain. Really sucks and not fair. :-( Not sure about the coconut milk as that could be hard on you. I also take a probiotic (Align)....and take tums on top of the 2 PPIs (not sure if I mentioned). Thanks for the support...am grateful for this support. Hope you have more better days.
