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.
Had a followup colonoscopy yesterday (Wednesday June 3) because the first one did not yield clear results. Once again, I did that lousy prep and once again, my gastritis is back. This happened to me back in March. That horrible prep made me so sick, I threw up most of it. Well, this time I did manage to clear myself and I was nice and empty.
The bad thing is, I feel that horrible sensation in my stomach and I feel nauseous on and off. I had been doing well, but now I am back to square one. I just wish doctors could come up with a less invasive prep! Just wanted to update everyone on how one thing like a colonoscopy prep can ruin a nicely healed gastric stomach. Oh and I also threw up a weird, brown like substance that was very disconcerting to me. I hope I'm not bleeding somewhere!

Hope you can heal quickly and the nasty brown stuff stops quickly. Lots of fluids if you can! If you can get your hands on some marshmallow root tea, make it either cold or warm and drink lots to heal your insides. I find it much gentler than aloe and it really soothes.
