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.

Pepzin GI question

littlemart

I've read many posts about Pepzin that say it is like a bandaid for the stomach. Can anyone explain that to me? What exactly does it do for us?

I still use it sometimes. My GERD is doing better most of the time. But now I'm having a little trouble when I eat. When the bite hits bottom it hurts for a couple seconds. Kind of like it's stalled in the process of going down. Waiting to hear back from my doctor about this.

Thanks

P.S. I started writing this reply before you posted your latest post. But really, I have little to add.

":P one point for johnny! "

If zinc and carnosine didn't need to be merged to create zinc carnosine, they would've just put them as separate compounds inside a pill. It's cheaper to manufacture.

The reason they're bound to each other is because the resulting compound allows zinc to stick to stomach lining, among likely other modified properties.

So, zinc carnosine is not the same thing as packaging zinc and carnosine together, like I said.

"It seems to me that no one has actually been healed by using this stuff, even though studies show that we should have seen significant improvement. "

I lost count of how many people here say "this stuff' helped them, both publicly and via Email. And not just here but people on other forums where they found out about zinc carnosine.

Ok I'm done here now.

I had posted that last post in an attempt to put in my opinion and look at the argument from both sides, while at the same time hoping to create a peace. but i guess that was no good.

There are arguments for both sides, and the best answer for anyone is to try and see whether or not it helps. I have healed greatly and i hope the same for everyone. I can see the end in site now and am really hoping I don't get pushed backward.

it can get very costly to deal with gastritis, and with all these supplements we need to take i figured i should share my experience/knowledge/opinion.

Peace and healing to you all!
