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.

Having bad nights

My heartburn had been really bad the last couple of nights and I'm eating bland chicken and potatoes. Do you think I'm eating too late? Could this be stress related? Also do any of you have bad nausea in the mornings? Also do any of you have pain in between your shoulder blades? Thanks

Thank you. One more question, does your probiotic have something called Streptococcus Thermophilus as one of the ingredients.

You might be eating too late... if you're eating late.

I don't get heartburn during the night, but am prone to getting 'stomach burning' from nocturnal acid breakthrough - I take 300mg Zantac in the evening then a dose of gaviscon at bedtime to avoid feeling this.

Stress won't help, but unlikely to be the only factor for your ongoing symptoms. Acid suppression & bland diet is key.

I don't get nausea, but others definitely do.

Yes I feel a lot of the pain through my back. Have you had your gallbladder checked?

I had an ultrasound and bloodwork done and they said my gallbladder was normal. My doctors tell me I have an overproduction of gastric acid right now and I think that's why I'm having gastritis symptoms as well as acid reflux too. Relaxation, time and the right diet will hopefully make this better and prevent any damage from happening.

@Sara59 no my probiotics don't have those ingredients :-)
