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.

Helicobacter Pylori bacteria is blamed for all our ulcers and stomach discomforts. 50% of the world population is infected by HP and are unaware. It cause leaky guts and peptic ulcers, gerd...etc...
Simple urease breathe test is conducted to check for HP infection.

I was surprised myself that the herbs got rid of the HPylori. I was fully expecting it to not work but thought I'd give it a go because I get bad side effects from antibiotics (pseudomembraneous colitis anyone?), and it worked.

She had me on Metagenics Glutagenics, Gastromend HP, Orthobiotic, Similase Digestive Enzymes and garlic pills.

For the gastritis I have now, my current naturopath just has me alter my diet (bland, mini meals, no drinking liquids with meals) -- but I'm also taking Pepzin GI on my own because I'm impatient and want this burning to go away faster.

It's interesting that you have managed to get rid of the bug using a nnaturopath therapy. I am taking antibiotics right now just started yesterday and PPI. I will stick with that until I get rid of the hpylori.

My GP has not advised of kinda food I can eat while I am on the antiboitics I understand my stomach has been damaged by this nasty bug.

I heard broccoli is good and lean protein food such as fish and chicken breast as I workout and I have been feeling very weak and I need a good diet with good amount of protein.
