Anti inflammatory ruined my stomach
Posted , 7 users are following.
A couple of years ago I was put on anti inflammatory medication, I started feeling sick a lot so I stopped taking them. The sickness just got worse and worse until I couldn't keep any food down and was signed sick off work. After an endoscopy I was told I had gastritis, and followed a strict diet which initially made me better, along with omeprazole and cyclezine (anti sickness) tablets. I was only good for a couple.of.months before symptoms started up again, however now the doctors say it is something other than gastritis. Been for several tests and the specialist decided I just have to much stomach acid and gave me restrictions to my diet. Now I stuck strictly to it for a month and then was supposed to tween.myself back to a normal diet however it didn't help in the first place, I have a few good days then feel crisp again for the majority. I've started taking gaviacon when I feel bad which seems to help a little and still on omeprazole. I am not sick like I used to be but every time I eat I feel bloated, tried, heartburn, like I'm going to throw up (used to be sick every day during/after gastritis) it's driving me insane and ruining my life. Any theories or similar stories would be a great help. I don't think it's stomach acid as I'm not supposed to drink alcohol but when I do I'm fine most the time unless I eat as well, I just don't know what is wrong with me! Please help!

As with a lot of the people on here it's trial and error trying different things
Go onto search engine and put in best probiotics to use
I can't advertise but I buy a bottle of 30 x 80 billion probiotic tablets and take 1 in the morning after food there made from vegetable ingredients and don't start to dispense the little good bacteria until it starts to go into your intestines
It's just triel and error I hope you feel better soon

I was prescribed Iburofen which didn't do my kidneys any good and I eventually ended -up on dialysis.
