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,
Starting yet another post (so many questions and wanting to share experience of others...)
For those taking PPIs, do you take supplements? My GP mentioned to take calcium and vitamin D plus ensure to take in another 1000mg of dairy daily. However, he never said anything about magnesium. Should we be supplementing with that as well? Ironically I looked up food sources and it lists things like chocolate, coffee, legumes...things that may be hard for us to eat at the moment.

They do block absorption of the vitamins and minerals that you mentioned. I learned that taking your supplements at night is the best time to take them.
Also, since I have been off the PPI's for 2 weeks now, I noticed my stools are getting more normal...I was very concerned about that because I had pancreatitis, but that is getting better also.
I've done a lot of research and have learned that milk isn't the best thing for us. I know drink Almond Milk and love it.
Doctors don't know much about nutrition and just want to give us pills. Interesting movies to watch are
Forks over Knives
