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.

i am really curious to know how everyone starts and ends their day. Do you eat right when you wake up? wait x amount of minutes? and what do you eat? Supplements?. And for the evening at what time do you eat youre last meal and when do you usually go to sleep? and again any Supplements?


I usually eat right when i wake up and i am not sure if that is the best way but my stomach handles it okay. I eat a small bowl of oatmeal with chia seeds.

I have rarely felt 'hungry' to eat first thing in the morning, even before I was diagnosed with gastritis. I have always, always been a milk-and-cereal for breakfast kind of person. With this recent diagnosis, I have tweaked my morning meal to be a plain cereal like Cheerios or Corn Flakes (minimal sugar), topped with 1/2 banana or berries, sprinkled with about a tsp of ground flax seed, and about a tbsp of ground coconut. Breakfast is my 'nicest' meal this way--it goes down well, does not cause any heartburn or indigestion, and supports my fibre levels.

If I'm hungry before bed, I try a small but filling snack--yogurt with granola/coconut/flax, or crackers and warm milk (with 1 tsp of coconut oil mixed in) if I'm hungry but heartburn-y (it is so weird to have the sensation of heartburn and hunger at the same time).

I also take 2 omega 3's in the morning, and 1 at night before bed.

Still too new to this diagnosis to know what else might be helpful in my routine.
