Gastritis and being unable to eat- is this normal?

Hello Emily

I know that it is quite some time after you posted this question but do you still suffer from the daily nausea? I am 16 and over a couple of months, grown increasingly nauseas every single day. I have very similar symptoms to you and am about to see a specialist but i feel so sick and don't feel like eating... Do you ever get better?

how are u now emily. wat was ur diagnosis. wat showed in endoscopy.

are you feeling better, is the gastritis gone?

Hi, I have the same but it has been going on for years. It got better and now it came back. I have lost around 10kg, I can't eat, I am burping and nauseous all the time and I am feeling super weak. I can't manage to keep anything in and I am starting to get worried as it is starting to affect my work and my life in general. I have tried all the medicines....now I am taking esomeprazol and something that avoids me to puke....reflux is still there and I get very car sick lately. If anyone has any answer on what to do please let me know....I was able to eat porridge but now I can't even take that 😦

this is a old post but I am going through this now and just wondered how you are now

Hello everybody , how are you all doing at this time ?

Hello everybody , how are you all doing at this time ?

have you had a CT scan done of your entire abdomen area?

i also feel fullness after a very small amount of meal (specially at afternoon meal). after fullness, i cannot eat anymore because if i continue, i start being dizzy and my hands tremor along with small amount of sweat. does anyone else has the same symptoms? i was diagnosed with pangastritis 4 months ago..

When I first found out that I had stomach issues it was because I was literally dying from the pain. I also went to the emergency room several times before I was referred to a GI specialist. I lost 30lbs in a month which is like 2.14 stone according to google. It was HORRIBLE. I wanted to die. I couldn't eat anything except scrambled eggs and corn tortillas. However, time heals all. I'm sure you might have some ulcers as well that are making the pain worse. Once they heal, you will be able to eat a little better. I'm currently having another flare up and it hurts like nobody's business. Every time I eat its so uncomfortable and if I don't eat it hurts too. You're not alone. Just know that. ♡

if you really have gastritis, please don't do tough/tiring exercises. i also have gastritis and it was even difficult to sleep with it and I developed sleep apnea.but till then i was easy while eating but when i started exercises to loose my weight, (i am 52kg, but i thought may be loosing weight can be helpful) I cannot drink even water easily. a small amount of water makes me full as well as thirsty. i feel worst nowadays with this "fullness" issue

Hi

I have been exactly the same as you. Mine started end of March. I wasn't getting better with Omeprazole. I too have stuck to the bland diet. I have lost a stone in weight. Do you get heartburn too? My Dr upped the Omeprazole to 40mg a few days ago and the symptoms have improved quite a bit, except for last night I got bad heartburn. It must have been something my stomach didn't like. My blood tests were all ok too. I just want to feel normal again.

Man many of our digestive issues stem from food intolerance of which I have found personally gluten and wheat when eliminated from the diet for a couple weeks you will see significant improvement. I know I did also eating meals double the frequency but half the serving made a huge difference for me as well. there is hope and healing is available to those who are willing to pay the price

im going through the same situation except i triggered mine with Alcohol and i am only 16, im also taking omeprazole and im waiting for results, like not feeling full after something tiny or bloating and tiny burns, that occur in my stomach, i hope u got better and God was with u

This post has been very informative, and encouraging.

I have recently been diagnosed with gastritis caused by H.pylori, after my breath test came back positive.

It all started for me around 2 months ago.

I work up feeling terrible, really bad indigestion and feeling very weak and sick.

I assumed it was a hangover (as I had over indulged the night before), and sucked it up.

After a few more days of this feeling, I realised it must be something else and initially thought it may even be Covid19 (due to chest/upper abdominal pain and shortness of breath). I researched into it online and stupidly self diagnosed myself with GERD.

I took a lot of antacids and ignored the problem, being a stereotypical male.

Big mistake.

One even around 3 weeks ago I had such severe upper abdomen and chest pain that I could hardly breath (probably partially bought on by anxiety as I thought I was having a heart attack!) I called the ambulance who took me to A&E and conducted an ECG and blood tests on me.

Both came back fine and 'text book'.

After a chat with a very intelligent Dr, I was diagnosed finally with gastritis.

As previously mentioned, this gastritis was bought on by H.pylori and not from supplement deficiency or excess alcohol (which i was surprised at!).

I have started a 1 week course of the triple therapy (ppi, +2 antibiotics), and hope it kills the bacteria up so my stomach lining can mend.

I've irresponsibly had the odd beer the last few weeks and It makes me feel terrible the next day, so i'm going cold turkey for a while.

Has anyone experience if this triple therapy works and time scales to get back to normal.

Also does anyone feel more like 'chest pains', then stomach?

I hope anyone who is experiencing this, is better or gets better soon.

I'm a bit of a suck-it-up and carry on guy but the reflux, bloating, nausea, chest pains, random bowel movements and general weakness/tiredness has really had an impact on my mental health too!

I'll report back in a week or so and hopefully can give some encouragement to others the medication works and give them hope!
