Sorry I just hate to ruin your day,
but I had treatment for H.Pylori over two yrs ago and my stomach is in a bad way still.
Ive had such a number of symptoms lately I'm wondering if it hasn't come back again.
I have a hospital appointment in Sept and wonder what will happen now.
I wish you luck and hope someone answers your query in a more positive manner. Solofelix.
i sure hope u will feel better soon and lets hope that bug aint back ....i know it can take awhile for the stomach to heal but this up and down in feeling good and bad is just not cutting it .... i been sick now for 4 months bout time this stops ....i know there has to be more than just ppi u can take for all the discomfort and the inflammation .....i had gastritis before and in germany they gave me some drops for it that took care of it in no time...

Have you tried Aloe Vera Juice or Manuka honey.
A.V.J is said to be good for the digestion also Manuka Honey. Sadly I cant take M. H. as it brings me out in Thrush in my mouth (too much sugar) it upsets my Candida.
All the best, Solofelix.
It takes a long journey for most of all. For me, chronic gastritis has made my life miserable for 9 months ... and still with me... I am too wondering if I ever get heal even it said MILD??. But even mild can be so UNCOMFORTABLE! I feel for those who are severe...

Mind telling how long you're having this gastritis? Did you still take PPI? What's your major discomfort/symptoms now??

its been going on for 4 months i had h plylori and after getting rid of that i got stuck with it ....i been on Nexium that didnt do much for me now for a good 5 weeks im on Dexilant now but im not sure if it is any better....im nauseous mostly in the morning and after eating ,i do get lightheaded and i get burning in my chest and pain in my shoulders...and a new one i get slight headaches
I have the same.
Sometimes I feel what comes after H.Pylori treatment is as bad if not worse (In my case) as the H.Pylori.
Since my treatment over two yrs ago I now have AR/GERD and a Hiatal-Hernia.
Nausea ,Belching and Gnawing stomach are an every day occurrence despite all sorts of medication.
My Dr thinks mine has returned but any further treatment I shall avoid, if the after effects are like this.
Good Luck to all fellow sufferers . Solofelix.

My chronic gastritis is under control now...but not heal yet.. Just no pain.. But on very bland diet. not sure what will happen if I eat something with a little sauce?? Sigh! But!!!! Here comes another problem for me... Lower intestine! I developed MAJOR gas/bloating no matter what I eat to the extend that my abdomen above belly button wanna explode n pain! Like it can no longer hold any further gas. Not sure if the pain was cause by intestine wall being stretch too long and causing iritation on lining? Not sure! I press it deep down, no pain. But if I press it one after another (faster speed), it pain! My intestine oso so noisy that I can feel it moving (gas or intestine movement)? I tried Simithicone , Anti-Spasm, Slow down gut movement medicine, all failed... Only Activated Charcoal provide me some release due to its ability to absorb intestinal gas, but that's not what I want... Because once I stop taking it, gas keep on producing! I don't know why!!! Anyone experience this or know why? Could it be the PPI? But I have stop it for 11 days now.... no improvement......... Help!!!!
thats just how i feel ...today i went to the health food store and got some good probiotics , intestinew powder and tons of coconut water somethings got to help ...i also made an appointment in about 3 weeks they have a doctor coming there that will check my blood for everything .....wont hurt to see what he finds ....i ll keep u informed about the coconut water its suppose to help to calm the stomach and provide vitamins and minerals ...i know the other stuff will take a while to work maybe it can get me off the dexilant, i think my bloodpreasure medicine is way enough everyday i did not want to add to it ..i hope u everyone feels better real soon

I have tried Aloe Vera Juice, Probiotics and Grapefruit Seed Extract.
Cant say they did anything really.
I tried Manuka Honey which made me feel fairly good in myself but bought me out in Thrush in my mouth (too much sugar).
Just have to keep trying!!.. Solofelix.

Do you have major gas in your intestine? It's so pain and uncomfortable! I'm thinking to have a colonyscopy but afraid the drink solution would do harm/hurt our stomach lining! Would it??

All of sudden my tongue is full of "taste bud" that inflamed, blood clot in gum area (side, upper region). Been for weeks.... subside a little but not gone. If I did a little hot, it comes up again. Don't know why. Have to keep put on Aloclar gel on my tongue.
Is Grapefruit seed extract safe for gastritis? I do not have Hpylori. I also taking lotsssssssss of other supplements. I don't know which really works but some of it certainly does help.
Now thinking would like to add Colostrum, Grapefruit Seed, Peppermint Oil, Oregano Oil, Quercetin. Is all these safe for us????
What about Turmeric & Ginger? Heard ot helps with inflammation but some web suggest to avoid it.

Hi, You don't drink any solution for a Colonoscopy. You do that for a CT Scan.
For a Colonoscopy you take some kind of laxative to clean out your bowel 24 hrs beforehand.
It is not a problem (Ive had two) just an inconvenience as you spend quite a bit of time in the bathroom.
Solofelix.
The turmeric is suppose to help the inflammation i heard it helps a little but i never tried it .As far as ginger i know it helps the nausea but i cant use it since i have high bloodpreasure i tried it once and my bloodpreasure went sky high even with my meds so its a no go for me but i hear a lot of people drink ginger tea for the stomach, i just drink Fennel and camomile tea with a lil honey .....i just started ultimate flora critical care 50 probiotics and i will see if they do something for me and this gastritis the coconut water has a nice taste and i guess the vitamins and minerals cant be bad .....but i wouldnt try to much at once .....

I have fennel seed with me. But, after chew some of it, do I need to swallow the whole seeds or spit out???
Heard that Manuka Honey was very acidic, but it was said to help with gastritis and taken empty stomach.
oh spit em out dont swallow them ....i dont know about manuka honey i hear alot of good things but some say it doesnt do anything i guess u would have to try i was looking for some at the health food store but they stopped selling it
Hi some people have used cabbage juice with sucess to heal the stomach after damage. A little green sweet pepper juice, carrot juice or even dilution with water can be used to make it easier to drink.
i been drinking coconut water for a week now and it seems to relax the stomach and it tastes good .....i did try to drink some fresh carrot juice couldnt do but 3 sips and my stomach said ..HECK NO !!! so nomore ...my doctor also told me nomore tea at all its not good for gastritis i should drink some milk instead it will help to coat the stomach so here i go intsead of tea i ll have a glass of warm milk with honey at night ...i ll try anything to be pain free ..
