- Hello,Looking for a little direction here I went for an endoscopy last May and was diagnosed with "mild gastritis." My doctor told me "your stomach is a little red." I took carafate for a while, but it didn't work. I switched doctors in November and...
- What has been your experience? How have they helped? Have they helped? What do they do? Is it covered by insurance? My therapist recommended one- she said this lady even spent three hours with someone trying to help them out - much more than our...
- My symptoms keep evolving. Now my most prominent symptoms is burps that get stuck in my chest after I eat anything! Including all things bland! Nothing relieves it. Not Otc meds, not supplements, not prescriptions. Does anyone else have this and...
- I just bought a jar of this. have people noticed any difference in their stomachs and, if so, how quickly did you notice a change? how do you use it?
- I know oatmeal is a big "go to" meal/snack around here...i was curious - do you guys just make it with water? do you use skim milk? almond milk? soy?
- I need tips/advice.The holidays means I'm spending time around people who don't know about my condition. They don't know what the pain is like, they don't know the medicines I'm on, how I can only eat at certain times, and only eat certain...

- Hello everyone,Just wanted to start a thread where we could suggest our favorite gastritis friendly snack ideas. Getting a bit sick of boiled eggs, toast, oatmeal and bananas - which basically make up my meals anyway!Any creative ideas for snacks?
- Is there any interaction between pepzin gi and ppis? Do they need to be spaced out? What about slippery elm? I asked a somewhat unhelpful pharmacist about slippery elm and he said "it will probably lessen the effect of any oral medication you are...
- Hello everyone,I'm feeling a little pushback from my family lately. Long story short, I switched doctors from one who prescribed me carafate for six months (which did nothing) to one who has given me a ppi which I've been on for a week.My new doc...
- Hello everyone, I just stared a ppi a few days ago (protonix)How long did it take before you felt a difference?Thanks in advance.
- Has anyone else noticed this? I've been suffering with gastritis for about eight months now. It's hard to tell whether I'm healing or not because the symptoms seem to evolve. It's like I'll have symptom A then that will go away but then symptom B...
- I'm headed on a road trip this weekend for a wedding. What are some of your favorite snacks/foods to bring when you're traveling? Any tips for surviving the trip/the food at the wedding? I'm also headed to Disney in a few weeks for five days and I'm...
- Anyone else have this? It's not like the gnawing pain I had at the beginning under the breastbone but more like there's a rock in my stomach or like it's being tied in knots after eating. Does anyone else have this?
