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.
Im not sure what diet to follow as I know that some foods are fine for some people that upset others. Ive now read a website that says antacids can make medications less effective. I have to take my antacid with food,the Tagemet. Its not ideal as nothing is lining my stomach before I eat,then I can't take Gaviscon for a while after it. If I have any natural remedy then I can't take it with food because of the Tagemet or just after. I really will have to get my medication sorted out. Does anyone else have these problems? Its so difficult to eat when in a lot of pain too,not something I look forward to. I really hope I get through this. Tell me what you eat and any more advice.
There is a thread called dietary assistance (or advice) I couldn't check as the search is down just now. If you have a read of that to get some ideas.
It's best to avoid say raw vegies, onion, garlic, aochol for a start. Keep your diet plain and if you want to add flavour most spices and herbs are ok to use.
