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.
Where is your severe pain? Is it coming from under your ribcage around to you lower back? If that is where the pain is you should see if you have Gall Stones.. if it's not here, you may be gasttitis. Mine started out feeling like I has nauseas but I wasn't getting sick, it only happend after I drank coffee or had a pop. I thought that maybe I was pregant as it felt like morning sickness, but I went to the doctor after feeling like that for 2 weeks and he told me to stop drinking coffee and quit smoking. Hope this helps. You should seek medical attention anyway just to make sure isn't nothing serious.
it's mostly severe bloating right below my breastbone. and then the pain that comes with bloating. i've had an mri and an ultrasound - no gallstones. i've been to 4 gastroenterologists with really no answers. the last one i saw thought i could have delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) so i did a gastric emptying test and it was on the slow side of normal. maybe that's it? don't know. anyway, thanks for your reply. i hope i find out what this is soon because it's affected my quality of life for over a year now.
My pain is so bad that i curl up into the fetal pos. on the couch, for me heat really really takes the pain away. My issues are so bad that i cannot work at times. Luckily although an idiot my boss is very understanding about it.
Then they gave me motilium for food movement that also helped but i am still having issues with the sudden sick feeling.I hope it all goes away soon just like you mentioned cause its really affecting quality of my life.
I also have tried using aloe vera but not sure if its working.Doc says the sudden sick feeling may be some sort of food allergy or Premenstraul symdrome.I have been asked to track my food nad dates to be sure.What do you guys think?
