Hi, I think I have gastric, I can't find much information about gastric. My stomach pain until I can't even walk and it affects my back and I can't even stuff food inside because I've no appetite. Is those a symptoms of gastric, can it be cure?

Do a search on gastritis and you can find loads of information. Basically you have inflammation of the stomach if you have gastritis. You can also have duodenitis which is inflammation of the beginning part of the small intestine. Gastrtis can be very painful and hard to deal with. There are meds that help soothe the stomach (carafate to name one) but I didn't receive much relief. Some people have used Mastica and said it helped. Other things I have read that can help are DGL, Neem Tea, Chamomile, Ginger, etc. I think time and paying attention to what I ate (wasn't much) is what helped mine.

Another thing to note is to know what caused the gastritis and to eliminate the casue. If it's alcohol or NSAIDs, you have to quit consuming. If it's stress, you will need learn how to reduce it. If it's Hpulori bacteria, you will need meds. There are other causes and a internet search will help. Good luck!

I agree with the other poster. I have gastritis and it is a pain to get rid of it. I have tried Sucralfate and it made me feel worse then before I took it. And the meds to reduce acid start to work and then about a week later they stop and my symptoms(nausea, burning sensation in stomach, early fullness) come back. So now I am taking Pariet(aciphex) and eliminating anything irritating to my stomach ex. greasy, spicy, caffeine, tomatoes. Seems to be helping for now

appleboy--you should go see your dr. for a proper diagnoses and not go by the internet.
Good Luck!

I am taking Nexium. Do you know anyone that has taking Nexium. It helps my stomach. But everything I eat seem to go in than out.

Thanks for replying, actually I do not know is it gastritis or not, my symtoms is just that stomach pain, back pain that can't even walk. Some of my friend told me is because I never eat on time. Is that what it call gastritis?
