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.
Hi all,
Its been 5 weeks since gastritis diagnosis and I still feel like shit. I am on 20 mg of Omeprazole and carafate and dont feel any better. My other major problem is I am severly anemic and have been for years. Since this stupid gastritis I cant take my iron suppliment or barely eat anything. So now not only do I have gastrits and stomach pain/nausea, I am dizzy and feel like Im dying from the anemia. Anyway my question is has anyone with anemia figured out how to suppliment iron without nausea? And also has anyone ever changed the time they take the omeprazole? Ive read a couple times now people suggesting taking it midday?
Any help is appeciated
For the iron, have you tried making a smoothie of iron rich foods, like spinach and watercress. Also what I do is throw in a multi vit into the blender and it smashes it ti nothing and that sits ok. You could try putting your iron tab into the blender to blitz it.
Hope this helps.
The site is not very active now, it used to be really active, but the guys have gone since they changed DS format (and not for the better). I hope someone helps you out.
I don't receive a message from DS on if someone has replied to my post, so I will have to remember I typed this out
Good luck..
