My wife had (has maybe) gastritis that followed having H. pylori. Although she had both, the doctor (that I know of) did not link one to the other. I think it has been 2 years (+) since she got HP and later was found to have gastritis. Unfortunately, she still has stomach problems on occasion, but her GI doctor is at a loss for the cause. She even had a gall bladder test that was close to normal, but since she continues to have problems, her doctor recommended removal even though it may not be the problem. As of now, she is just waiting it out and trying to work around the problem until it goes away or becomes more obvious what the actual issue is.

I know I have not answered your question, but in her case anyway, there does not seem to be an answer.

I had an upper endoscopy a few times. The most recent was 2011. They were positive I had H. Pylori, but that was negative, but I had gastritis and duodendal ulcers, and I was positive for focal intestinal metaplasia ( precancerous condition which they failed to tell me, read it on the report)
but negative for H. Pylori. But since I thought I had it I did research about it and the treatment is antibiotics. I think it said it could cause gastritis, but I don't know for sure.

OK I got my tests results and notes out that I wrote. from what I can tell, in my experience, my gastritis was caused by Focal Intestinal Metaplasia. But Gastritis is commonly caused by H. Pylori. Mine just happened to be a different case.

White Dolphin, Where is your displacia, in your stomach or esophagus? Please watch this carefully. Consider consulting an expert doctor, especially since your current one didnt bother to tell you about this. My husband had barrett's that developed into cancer, but there are a lot of things that can be done to address the displacia before it turns, at least in the esophagus. I would try a doctor at a teaching hospital. Good luck!

White Dolphin, how is it going? I am glad you are doing research on your condition. As you've noted, the condition you have is precancerous. I encourage you to get with a specialist so that you are properly monitored and treated. I wish we had been more aggressive with this. Our doctor too seemed to blow off my husband's pre-cancerous condition. Although only some barretts conditions go to cancer, my husband was one of the unfortunate ones. Good luck!

I had an incident where I had H. Pylori, but when I was checked again the H. Pylori was gone but I still had the gastritis. It was treated with antibiotics. Hugs Gramybear

I tested positive for h. pylori...went through the horrid treatment to eradicate the bacteria....now trying to heal my stomach and regain my health. Nausea, lightheaded/spacy/dizzy, jittery shaky feeling...

Anyone every tried slippery elm?

Yes, it is included in a product called Acid Ease (link below to manufacturer). It is available online for much less than the MSRP price show in the link. It is very effective for rapidly easing heartburn and its stomach-related cousins.

Below is a link from a very recent Dr. Mercola's article about PPIs and stomach problems in general. You may find some helpful tips here.

Thanks sptrout. Have you had success with slippery elm?

Yes, but the only product that I have used that contains slippery elm is Acid Ease. It works quickly. I would also recommend taking DGL before all meals. The same company that makes Acid Ease also makes a product called Ultra DGL, which worked well for me. As with Acid Ease, both products can be found at health food stores, or more easily online (and much cheaper than the price shown on the manufacture's website). Funny, but now when I think that I may have GERD problems at night, I just eat a stick of celery, which works great and fast, and no downside to eating celery.

To be clear, I have (more like "had") GERD problems not gastritis or H. pylori.

Read posts by smilelikeyoumeanit on the gastritis site. She is a pro on the H pylori issue. She also had it.
