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.

So who out there tested the limits of their stomach while at a local Superbowl party? If so, what things did you consume and what was the result?

Did anyone have great success consuming with no issues?

Steak!!!!!!I haven't eaten beef and pork for nearly a year now.If you can stomach steak youre good.Im tempted to try blended beef(with vegetables)and see how it goes.Sort of like the baby food:)

I have not had a steak in well over a year. You think it is safe to try and see what happens? Obviously have steak with some steamed vegetables or a baked potatoe (non loaded).

Yes I can eat steak, I usually buy fillet and bash the hell out of it and slice it really thinly with mushrooms and a little low fat cream and tsp of mustard and chopped parsley and have it with rice and baked spud - goes down well.
I tried a chop a few weeks ago but didn't bash that but it cursed me for a long time!!

Hey JoHam I will trade you my steak abilities for your Coffee abilities LOL...

Supabelly:)I grew up in Poland and we are not really big on beef so I basically learnt to live w/o it.Then I moved to California where its quite the opposite and theres a cult of beef and I became a part of it and who knows perhaps the change of eating habist triggered my gastric issues which ultimately lead to gastritis.
As for coffee,no I could not live without it:)This is the only thing I refused to give up to heal gastritis.I have continued drinking it all the time.The only thing I did was cut down on the amount and so instead of 2 cups a day I decided to have one.I gave up the morning coffee but have always enjoyed the after lunch one.I figured that its just safer to have coffee on full stomach after lunch instead of on empty stomach the first thing in the morning .Seems to work for me.I also noticed that the afternoon coffee is almost like a digestive drink,it definitely helps digestion in my case.
Oh and by the way theres a book by Jamie Koufman "Dropping Acid" which is a very good book for refluxers and gastritis sufferers.I have been following the diet and using some of the recipes.I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get rid of their stomach issues.

Hey JoHam, my guilty pleasure is I refuse to give up my comfort glass of smooth red wine or soft guinness. They don't bother me at all.
