Hello everyone,
I'm a 23 year old male and I've been having gastro issues for a year now. It all started last winter when I got these "weird" feeling in my stomach which somehow got better with eating. After a few months I started having a lot of gas and would feel very bloated(especially in the evening) and I also started having these stomach pains when I pressed on my stomach with my hand(Kind of a sharp pain which is very mild untill I press on my stomach). Also, my stool is sometimes a little loose(not diarrhea, but little more loose).
Went to the doctor about three months ago and did complete blood and urin test as well as h.pylori test and abdomen ultrasound which all came back fine. Doc said it is chronic gastritis and gave me Pantoprazole 40mg which I've been taking for almost three months, but it doesnt really help me.
I dont drink or smoke and my diet is "normal". I do eat spicey and greasy stuff in moderation(it doesnt make my stomach hurt if anyone is wondering).
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thank you

Chronic Gastritis is inflammation; too much acid
So the natural remedy for inflammation is garlic (clove a day)or capsules.
In addition Liquorice tablets kill some bad bacteria & assists with acid; and you can get chewable acidophilus (good bacteria) from the health food shop too.
I know you may not think so; however although you are not getting issues hwen you eat fatty food now, the liver does store fatty foods; and so you would also benefit from taking milk thistle ; which can repair liver cells.
This would reduce inflammation; reduce acid; and clean up the liver and gallbladder for bile production too (which affects the bowel). If you include anti-inflammatory foods and antioxidant foods in your diet then all the better ; but if not; do include tomatoes.. preferably with the skins (soup will do though!).. Do include omega 3 (fish oil?) ..
* please can you leave feedback for others who are suffering the same issues to whatever you do do and how you resolved the issues.
hope you get better soon

I am not medically trained. I am not a 'doctor'.
It's an horrific story.... intermittent 'sharp' pain made worse by pain killers.....led to full blown distension; unable to eat foods; 3 days of writhing around the floor in agony; legs stopped working; shuffling; unable to work, appendicits type pain for 8 months - horrific- daily pain; bowel pain, loose bowels, grey stools (all with ongoing unrelenting pain 24/7).. nerve pain; bladder stopped working..brain fog. Hepatic toxicity.. (creamy white patches in my eyes).. the list goes on.. and doesn't cover the full horror of an untreated gallbladder inflammation.....
and inflammation leads to cellular changes; so 7 years of inflammation have done me no good at all.. My gps never gave me anti-inflammatories; they wouldnt' even give me anti-biotics.. and i did ask; and i asked for my pain meds to be reviewed;got nowhere; and i was in agony and struggled to get to the GP's ; but by this time i was a former shell of myself; they kept teling me IBS.. if that's not negligent; i don't knwo what is..
Be safe..
