Gastritis - Constant severe stomach pain

hello, have you tried to drink cabbage juice ? does it help ? Thanks.

Hi Jenny, I have been reading through this thread and feel for everyone here. My Dad had pain every time he ate solid food from last Feb 2017. He would not eat or only have liquid smoothies for a couple of days then come good. He would then try eating something solid and end up with loads of pain again. He went to a doctor that only gave him a laxative and told him he was having trouble from his divaticulitus. He had had a colonoscopy 6 months earlier as he did yearly. He had had bowel cancer twice twenty years earlier. He eventually had two stints on hospital where they did a CT scan the first time and endoscopy the second time. They told him they were checking his eusophicus the last time which infuriated him as it was his bowel that was having the trouble. They sent him home after a week in hospital and gave him a follow up appointment in two months time. My Dad died of a heart failure at home 5 days after discharge in September last year.  I feel from stress of the condition and not being able to eat much for 8 months. 

Now I’m Feb 2018, this year, I started having the same problem. I already eat Paleo and actually more Keto so don’t have any grains or sugars, been doin that for 3 years now. I’m having thre days of pain then only having water and protein shake for a day or two then have two days of relief, then the pain starts again. I’m wondering if anyone here has considered Fecal Transplant Therapy? I know it sounds out there but I’m thinking of seeing if I can get into a trial.  I have taken notes of everything everyone here has tried and will start on those and book a doctors appointment. With all the pain and what has happened to my Dad this whole thing just has me so scared and sad.

OK here's my story. Exactly three years ago I started having burning sensations in my stomach for weeks then it would pass. This went on for about a year. I went for tests ultrasound, bloods and stools. I haven't had a solid poo for years on end. It got me down, almost losing my marriage as I was very down and most of all angry and irritable. I still went to work but it was so hard. I just wanted to be at home l you down. Luckily my child was only a few years old so didn't understand. Doctors put it down to ibs. This was even more frustrating. I then started taking strong probiotics (Holland and barret) and aloe Vera tablets overnight. This was a revelation. I only had a hand full of flare ups in two years which would last just a few days. There has never been any pattern from the start I terms of food. I have however over the last four weeks been in turmoil. Its come back and it feels worse than ever. Burning, trapped wind, depression. Feels like I'm a different man from the happy guy the last two years. I fully understand all how you are feeling. I get angry with my wife my child. Very short fused. I feel like I need to be away from them. I'm thinking of going back to the drs but I almost know he will say ibs. At my wits end again. Dread waking up thinking how the day will pan out.

Well after I posted on here I followed one of the leads and watched some Jason Klop YouTube clips which lead me to investigate SIBO small intestine bacterial overgrowth. From there I looked into Murdoch University’s FODMAP diet, bought the app and within days everything cleared up. As my Dad died with the same symptoms as I think the stress and pain contributed to his heart failure I so wish I had found all this earlier. I hope this info can at least help some of you

For anyone that is still reading this now, I have exactly the same symptoms and find that nothing helps me but porridge. This may sound stupid but I always have porridge in the morning and it eases my stomach pain.
