Gastritis caused by H. Pylori
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi all,
My name is Andrew, I'm 19 years old and was diagonused with h pylori in November 2017. After it was removed (sometime in December), my endoscopy showed inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis).
I've been fighting this awful battle for 3 months and I just want to know if it ever gets back to normal?
Will i ever be able to eat the foods I used to eat, and will I ever get my life back? I just want to know if I'll ever feel 100% normal again or am I just doomed? Will I always have to alter my diet? Because even altering my diet doesn't really help, I have so much pain in my stomach after eating and I vomit or get nausea a lot. The depression, stress, and the physical/mental illness this has brought me is very overwhelming, and I don't know how much more I can take. I don't want advice on how to deal with gastritis, I've read/heard plenty on that. What I don't ever seem to see is anybody that's gone through this, and says that at some point it gets back to normal. I don't want to live like this... I can't live like this. Life is no longer enjoyable because of this horrible illness, and I just want to hear someone's story of who had this, and is now 100% better. If that even exists. Thank you.

and you won’t get all that from all the ‚empty’ things we are used to eating and thought are ‚normal’.. just because we were addicted to it with all the added sugars and tastes that were added by the food Industry. And since you were diagnosed with gastritis, give your body the time to heal and don‘t feel bad if you don‘t fit in when everyone stuffs themselves with these unhealthy food!!
You just have one life and who cares about others. Be happy you are not destroying your body with that stuff!! Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Hi,
Thanks for taking your time to respond I really appreciate it. I understand what you mean, but it's easier said than done to keep a positive out-look throughout all of this. I really want to be able to go back to eat the way I used to, because I'm losing so much weight and I didn't have much to lose in the first place. All foods make my stomach hurt no matter what. There's no satisfaction in eating anymore. I would be able to accept that I'm not going to be able to eat what I used to, if this "new diet" helped me at all. I just want to know that one day it'll be okay again and I can eat how I used to, without pain, whatever I want, whenever I want. Because as of right now my lifestyle is very unhealthy, and I feel like doctors don't give a s**t

Cooked oatmeal (with water or cononut milk - I add organic non sweetened apple sauce and cinnamon)
Apples
Mashed potatoes
Brown rice

It’s not that you can never eat those foods again it’s just that you have to cut way back. I noticed that if I eat something more acidic my stomach starts to hurt a little. So I balance it out with fruit or vegetables which are mainly alkaline. 2:1
The main thing is you don’t want to irritate your stomach. I was concerned about getting an ulcer because that’s what can happen with repeated irritation of the lining of the stomach. What scared me was learning that some stomach ulcers can lead to stomach cancer, so that basically scared me straight! Plus we need to reduce our stress because that can also lead to ulcers.
you feel so much better if you do what I mentioned. Make sure your anxiety is under control if you have it. It’s definitely worth it to eat healthy!

Hi Jan, thanks for sharing your experience.
I would never call this a blessing though. This is pure misery! It's not like I had terrible eating habits in the first place, but my diet did consist of lots of things you listed (meats, rice, sugar, cheese) I still eat lots of rice and some chicken.. but it's not the same. And I'm afraid of never getting better!! I understand I hate to cut back on all that stuff, which I've done. But I still feel terrible every single day. I keep hearing, "give your body time to heal" but how much time do I have to wait? and what does "heal" mean? Does it mean I'll one return to my normal eating habits, or am I going to have to alter my eating habits for years to come to feel a tad bit better? I'm so fed up with this illness and it's causing me to become so bitter!
