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.
Ever since I've been dealing with this for over a month, I've lost a ton of weight. I was 326 when this started, now I'm 281. I already had an endoscopy, and was diagnosed with a small Hiatal Hernia and mild gastritis. I barely eat, especially compared to before this all started. Has anyone else lost this much weight?
Please help!

Hello! I have not ever lost that much weight.But I do lose about 10 or 15 pounds if I'm in a bad flare.The weight comes back on when i feel better.It takes time for the stomach to heal.Hoping you feel better soon!

I lost around 2 stones within a few months period. From what I heard from others losing weight is common factor. I felt I was in limbo for several months not knowing if my symptoms were common. I still eat very little but do my best. Just wish my Dr would have been more transparent with me than fobbing me off with ' eat normal foods'!!!!

Hi, I've had it for 7 weeks and have lost almost 20 lbs. No appetite. Drinking Garden of Life plant based protein smoothies. Can tolerate that. I can't figure out how to post my story. I have figured out how to reply. You have to find a way to get nutrician you can tolerate.

I'm so terrified of this. I was just diagnosed with gastritis last Tuesday, and have since been trying to keep nutrients in me the best I can. I am and always have been on the low end of the BMI index (not bragging, some actually consider me "too skinny"....currently at 5'3" I weighed 106 before this started and already dropped 3 lbs in a week. I don't know what I am going to do.

I am suffering from the inability to cope with ordinary every day things. From my housework to watching tv or reading a book. I get palpatations, nervousness, at the moment my heart is palpatating and all I am doing is typing this. I am so scared its silly, I just want to stay in bed and just get up for meals and coffee. Not that that is going to happen. At the moment I have my daughter...
