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.

What high caloric foods do you eat?

I can't stomach Boost, Ensure, etc. Probably because of bad egg nog experience as a kid.

I need to up my calorie intake. Would avocados be safe? I can't believe I would ever be upset about being so thin, but I am.

Avocados are fine from a pH perspective (not acidic), but the fat content might aggravate some. Also they are off-limits for some with IBS due to the polyol content.
I can tolerate them fine eaten with carbs like rice, but don't eat on their own.
Maybe try a small amount & see how it goes. Good luck.

I've been eating avocado everyday with a rice cake, that was my first snack, its delicious. Starting in April, sometimes I put some pure maple syrup on it.

I've been really worried about the weight loss. I am down to 82 lbs! So I've been eating anything and everything I am comfortable with... ice cream, cake, cookies, potatoes, eggs... whatever I feel that I can tolerate. Some days I can eat like I used to without any problem. Then other days I feel it a little. What's a little Italian woman to do without tomato sauce??? AAgghhh!
