Not again....

Ok so I have come down with what is most likely to be Gastritis again. I had it three years ago and I feel just the same. I went to the GP about IBS type symptoms and then came down with this a week later. Because I had already been referred to the specialist, the GP just said it was related and I had to wait. But I knew this was different. It took me three weeks for them to realise. I finally went to one of the female GP's last week and just told them I had Gastritis and asked for the right medication. I was given that and the pain is easing and my appetite coming back but its a slow process.  I am fed up with having to watch what I eat and now my appetite is starting to come back I just want to pig out. But every now and again the pain is back. It feels like I have a big air bubble in my stomach. HORRIBLE!  I think mine was caused by stress as I have an anxiety disorder and had trouble with my so called best friend who wont speak to me. I was also taking Pro Plus (caffine pills) and Iron tablets. Someone told me that being a vegetarian I should take Iron. I thought I was being good but little did I know they were causing more harm than good! Here's to a better 2009!
