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.

I usually drink 2 cans when the burn is bad. Make sure its cold! I tried it room temperature and it was kinda gross.

i drink one bottle every morning on an empty stomach ....but for me it cant be cold i drink it room temperature tastes good to me :) but everything to cold hurts my stomach .....does it help i really dont know its been 3 weeks since istarted drinking coconut water .
online i always read :
this treatment is the most effective when you consume nothing but coconut water for the first 24 hours after gastritis symptoms start.
but i have not found anything on how much u should drink on a regular bases ...

thanks for the answers. I'll drink a little more. I think i'm on the cooler, less gross end of the scale. Its not so much for the gastritis just now as part of the IBS or some new horror in my gut but like all of us here I'll try anything and hope for improvement.
