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.
Thank you for coming back to update us. It's very valuable info, since you are actually through with it. It's very interesting that you'd say it took you 5 years to heal. Could you please give a snapshot of what the recovery was like; which meds did you take and for how long? I'm assuming you weren't on meds for all of the 5 years. When was the worst over? How restricted were you with your diet initially and for how long? When were you able to expand it and was that gradual or right on to eating everything?
Do you know how long you had had the gastritis by the time you began treatment? Was it acute or chronic?
I will be grateful for your reply. Thank you.
