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.

The madness of gastritis

Hi all. I have been pain free for years now as far as the gastritis goes. I only have trouble if a newly introduced ingredient doesn't agree with me or...if I buy a pineapple that appears ripe enough only to discover eight hours later it wasn't. Now I sit through 12 hours of pain and my neighbour scores a pineapple. At least I know it will pass.

Try Gastromend HP or just take mastic gum with PepZin GI. It should speed up recovery from the mishaps like these.

Actually the fastest recovery method I found is when I fucked up like this, for the next 12-16 hours to only eat tvorog (farmer's cheese/quark).

And, take PepZin GI.

I don't see it as a f**k up. I genuinely thought it was ripe enough. I can eat pineapple. It never left my diet. All I do is rest quietly with my heat pack and some ginger tea or ginger beer. It only lasted 10 hours which was good.

Does anyone have any more information on Gastromend HP and mastic gum? Are these things one can take daily in combination with my zantac and Pepzin GI or are these meant to be taken only during flare ups? Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Thank you so very much,

ps- Has anyone had any positive experiences with DGL Licorice? Any recommendations as to if, how and when to take it?

It's not situational but constant. I recommend taking 4 Pepzin GIs per day... not within 1hr interval of Zantac. 1 as you get up, 1 before bed, 2 more spread between meals but not immediately before or after them.

With Gastromend, I take it during flareups... mostly 1-2 capsules before bed, instead of PepZin GI. It can also help to push forward from a long-held plateau. It contains PepZin GI in itself (half a capsule per capsule), as well as DGL and other ingredients.

Thank you so very much for your input shihonage- it is greatly appreciated! At the moment I am taking Pepzin GI four times a day as well as zantac 150 mg twice a day. I am desperate to find something that would help during a flareup- I am more than willing to try Gastromend HP. Do you have any idea where one could find it online- I am located in Europe and am trying to find a place to purchase it from.

Thank you very much again!
