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.

Thanks again and enjoy the weekend. If I do nothing else these days I do take one day at a time. I think I 'd go insane if I didn't. I figure tomorrow can always be better.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
Thanks again for the support. I pray we're all in better health very soon.

If you cannot pinpoint anything in your diet that might account for your symptoms, maybe your meds need to be tweaked a bit?? I hope you feel better soon!
Am applying warm castor oil to cotton and covering with plastic and putting on the liver area and sitting with the wheat bag on it for half our. This helps draw toxins etc out.
Also have stopped taking the zantac. Only took them to be rid of this new pain and they of course do nothing but lower my stomach acid further.
Thanks for well wishes. Hope you're all travelling better.

I'm so sorry to hear your having a flare up again! Don't know if this might help, but when I could barely eat I would eat a avocado a day. It's packed with nutrients and good fats. Plus I drink carrot juice/spinach juice and coconut water. All those packed with nutrients. I'm having a slight flare up because I started my period. Don't forget it does go away, just keep positive!
My pains are easing with slight discomfort after eating. I can manage foods even with most of the pain. I've lost too much weight and cannot afford to let more go. I had avo on my toast this morning.
I hope the h-pylori clears.
Are you still taking natural supplements?
I am only taking the ppi every third day now. They made me sicker. I have been surviving on manuka honey, slippery elm, probiotic and mylanta. It seems worse today. I am so fed up with this and I haven't even had it for that long.
I took my kids to a movie and out to lunch the other day - it really depressed me that I had to sit there and watch them eat. It is scaring my kids because I am not eating with them or the same meals. :-(((
