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.
nearly 2 years with pain/ discomfort now. Lots of medication but could only ever get 95% better.
Decided to give Milk a rest, not cheese or butter just milk including in tea. 2 days later, continuing to eat sensibly, and no pain/discomfort.
Doctor agreed it was an irritant (wish he had told me earlier). Once healed I should be able to go back to it.
Give it a try give up milk for a couple of weeks and see if it works.. Good luck.
I cut out milk and ice cream early on as well as yogurt. Tiniest amount of ice cream (as in one teaspoon) would give me pain. Plain yogurt is my WORST trigger, worse than soda, I am confident to say. I eat a little bit of part-skim mozzarella cheese every day and do OK with it. I agree, once healed, we should be able to tolerate them again.
Thank you for sharing with us.
