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 am dealing with this and acid reflux that doent stop and pneumonia.Just recently had testing done to hsve linx surgery done to stop the reflux.
You are not alone! I myself have Erosive Gastritis and Erosive Duodenitis. It has not been an easy journey either. Although I am in no way a medical professional and can not legally give medical advice, I'd say it could depend on whether you have Acute or Chronic. Acute lasts for a short while, while Chronic is gradual and can last month, years, or even be a permanent occurrence. Whether or not It could be cured, is debatable. With a combination of a proper diet and medication I suppose it could be managed, if not "cured" completely.
Hope this helps!
