Gastritis Support Group
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.
These questions have probably been asked about a million times but I have searched on here and can't find the answers
What dose of the following should I take
DGL Licorice
Marshmallow Root
Ginger (I have tried taking one capsule of 550mg but although it soothed the stomach a bit, it was a bit too much for my tummy. Can't have the tea as it is horrible!)
Slippery Elm Bark
Papaya enzyme
Is is ok to take Echinacea and goldenseal and what dose should I take? I have them in capsules that come together. I am bit worried about these though to be honest
I have tried Aloe but it never helped me
I currently take Nexium, Zantac and Gaviscon when needed and domperidone when needed. I am thinking of asking my doc for carafate as well.
Trouble is, how do I fit taking all these meds into the day?
I know that you have to take the DGL, Marshmallow and domperidone 20 mins before a meal. Is it ok to take them at the same time?
Ginger is meant to be taken with a meal but can that be taken after the ones above?
When do I take the Slippery Elm as I take Nexium first thing in the morning and usually take gaviscon or zantac at night
When do I take the echinacea and goldenseal, papya enzyme and carafate?
I am so confused and haven't got my first meeting with the homeopathic doc until the 24th!

I'm not sure I can help that much as I only take slippery elm and a daily probiotic. I use to make ginger root tea to sooth my belly in the early days.My greatest rule of thumb is when trying anything new try to get supplements with as few ingredients in them as a combo so you can better tell if one is causing an issue.
I'm sure others here will offer better advice as to the other medicines. I don't do PPI's so I can't help there.
