Recipes sound great, I eat similarly when I am having a flare (like right now).
I couldn’t have strawberries though, those and raspberries are no good for me.

Today for dinner I made cottage pie with lean minced beef, carrots, celery and mushrooms topped with mashed potatoes and baked in the oven.

Lunch was baked beetroot and sweet potato, quinoa, fresh basil and a little feta.

Breakfast was porridge (oatmeal) made with water and a little lactose free milk. Served with banana and maple syrup . I usually eat the same thing 2 hours before bedtime too.

I am so sorry...8 months is a really long time. How do you find the strength to pull through?

I dont know. In June I thought I was almost healed so it doesn't feel like I have been horrible everyday but this most recent relapse was the longest I have had and I am nervous about my next one since they seem to happen every month. I can't afford to lose more weight.

I am in 4th month, felt much better after 2 months of omeprazole, ranitidine and bland diet, reduced meds and had a bad relapse. Back on original meds again and beginning to recover again. I eat porridge with stewed Apple or pear and honey for breakfast. Late morning fat free yoghurt with banana and blueberries. Early afternoon poached egg with steamed spinach and an oatcake. Dinner is white fish or chicken, steamed, with mashed potato and carrot or sweet potato. I eat pretty much the same every day. I have lost a stone and half so far and am getting very thin which is a worry.

I've been suffering for about 17 mos. I've been eating the same foods, too. I have baked oatmeal for breakfast with a scrambled egg.

Recipe: Abut half stick butter, 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened), 2 TSP baking powder, 3/4 TSP salt, 3/4 cup water, and 2 eggs.

I melt the butter in a 8x8 glass dish in the oven at 350 degrees. Pull it out. Let it cool. Then I add it to all the other ingredients in the bowl. Put it back in the oven for 30 minutes.

I've been avoiding sugar. I've learned to enjoy oatmeal without sugar. Was adding cinnamon and vanilla, but now I'm concerned about those, too. Trying a new diet for 3 months. Looking forward to eating normal food again, and regular baked oatmeal with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and raisins or craisins.

I've also been eating a lot of avocado, beans, and sweet potatoes (the Japanese ones at Whole Foods are super sweet and delicious with just butter and salt).

Since I'm avoiding sugar, I've been baking apples with coconut oil. Delicious! Frozen banana is really good, too.

Sugar, as you can tell, is my weakness. I'm a baker, in my spare time. I've also been avoiding soy, gluten, corn, dairy, citrus, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and most nightshades (added potatoes back in recently). It's a challenging diet but I hope it helps me to feel better. I've been suffering a long time and I think it's partly because I haven't stuck to a good diet for a long enough period of time. Will try to stick it out for three months. I'm almost done with Week 4.

I've tried omeprazole and pantoprazole. No success. Been taking ranitidine for two and half months now. Feeling a little better. Trying to be optimistic that I will overcome this. Hope we all do.

Hi Suigeneris, just a thought, have you ever tried to make your oatmeal with steel cut oats instead of rolled oats? I've found that steel cut oats are so much tastier and easy to eat w/o sweetener.

BTW, I am on a gastritis support group on Facebook if you are interested. Its a really great platform and is very active, I hope to see you there! https://www.facebook.com/groups/420027964703338/

Thanks Laneymae. I have heard of steel cut oats, but I've never tried them. I'll have to give them a try. Thanks for posting the FB link. I just signed up today.

I’ve been struggling on and off with chronic gastritis most of my life , eliminating soda 99% from my diet (except an occasional sprite or ginger ale) was probably the best change I made. Ginger tea is a must. Some people sware by zofran as the best thing they ever tried...didn’t work so much for me. Currently i’m dealing with an ulcer so atm my diet mostly consists of rice, apple sauce and broth. But I have some great recipes for honey bread, chicken rice recipes, sugarless vanilla cookies and some others...let me know and I’d be happy to share.

I just had the worse episode of gastritis I ever had - thought I had gallstones. I have started juicing, just google juicing for gastritis. I found about 4 sites offering delicious recipes. I hate juicing, but I think this will help. thank you for all the recipes

Sorry to all those who have been been suffering with gastritis. I have also been in the same situation for 2½ years.
I do almost the same diet as you guys but there's one thing most sufferers forget to do- reduce the amount of salt in your food.
I did that to almost zero salt and things have worked out well.
Plus for those who have not healed, you could try and check this out... it might be of help
