Anti inflammatory ruined my stomach

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!

    I would really recommend cutting out the alcohol for a little while and then only in moderation, alcohol dehydrates you, it also turns to sugar in your system and sugar causes inflamation.

      Yeah I did for a few weeks, yet I still had good and bad days. Thanks for all the help I think I'm going to go back to my diet and buy some probiotics and see how I go from there. It's just nothing seems to help it drives me mad some days!

    The DGL licorice will help with the heartburn which would help you to cut out the antacids.  Also apple cider vinegar, it has to be organic with the mother still in it.

      I was tested for celiac disease which was negative but I suppose I could still have a sensitivity. Like I said I'm willing to try anything, what sort of foods would I need to avoid?
