Does anyone have any problems with the attitudes of others towards gastritis in them? I was posting on Facebook and a man complained to me that I was a trigger and I was upsetting others. He said that I should not keep moaning about it and I was not taking the advice of others, namely his advice I think, about going gluten free etc. He said I was being selfish and I should help my self more. He was really nasty and he said that I should not ask for prayer as it was no good praying unless I stick to a diet. I do try to avoid a lot of the wrong things but do slip up from time to time. I take some herbal things like Slippery elm too and ginger. I don,t think he realises how horrible this illness is. My doctors are no better, some say its anxiety and some say its a nerve and I shouldn,t have bad pain with gastritis. Some say that I should have healed by now on Gaviscon etc. Im moaning again but Im at the end of my tether with it. I have always tried to give good advice too. I think some people on Facebook are nasty or ignorant but most are ok. We all want rid of this awful illness and mostly we know what to do when we have read each others posts. I don,t know why a person who hasn,t even got gastritis himself should be offended about me posting about it. So I don,t know what to do. Just leave him to it I guess. I do keep praying and won,t give up. I personally don't, mind reading anyones posts. This guy did mention his own illnesses of which one is bipolar. I don t, know anything about that and don't, want to. I don't, know why someone would read posts about an illness they have not got or a friend or relative has not got anyway.
