Anxiety and gastritis

yes i have. my anxiety caused gastritis. it started with a dull pain on the left side under my rib then it radiated through to my back. very uncomfortable. Along with that, I had intestinal cramping with loose stools. Sometimes I get that and other times I don’t.mine was so bad that I saw a specialist who then performed and endoscopy to check out my stomach. I was worried that I had an ulcer but I did not. It was gastritis.

so I was prescribed omeprazole for a 14 day treatment. It worked somewhat but not completely. I then had to change my diet and stay away from acidic foods such as junk food, pop, cheese, and all other acidic foods that you can find online. I mainly had to eat vegetables, most fruits, bananas are especially good, and once again you can find alkaline foods online.

eventually I felt better. However, it will come back if I get extremely anxious or stressed out and then I just put myself on another two weeks of omeprazole treatment. But it’s a good idea to check in with your doctor to make sure that’s OK.

yours could be a different issue so make sure you talk to your doctor. Hope you feel better

hello there last year i had a burning feeling in my throat and middle of my chest for a while so went to doctors. I had to have an endoscopy and they diagnosed gastritis and a hernia. I had to take prescribed tablets called Omeprazole for about 6 months

Yes, all the time. It resulted in me getting an endoscopy. Mine is always a pain under my left rib which gives me anxiety that it's my pancreas. It's usually accompanied by a lot of belching, air swallowing, and reflux. Prilosec helps a little bit, but it's not a 100% cure.

I don't know if it's caused entirely by anxiety, but I don't think anxiety makes it any better. Hope you feel better soon.

As a more natural remedy, you can try taking a peppermint pill. It was suggested to me by others but has never worked. Maybe it would work for you.

i was diagnosed with gastritis over 25 yrs ago which was boughtn by an extremely stressful and unhappy time , i still suffer from it now and have been taking omeprazole ever since , and it always gets worse when i am anxious which is most of the time ,

I have suffered with a Hiatus Hernia for decades.

I have the usual medication and endoscopies every 3 years.

The flare ups of heartburn and pain trigger massive anxiety which feed the condition.
