How I cured my gastritis

Hey,

I know how you feel I have had Barrett's esophagus for 20 years I to tried everything. The reflux got worse when I was sleeping and found it's way back up to my throat so I used to wake up suffocating (terrifying experience so I had to use more pillows to raise my head. It's been years now since I suffered with acid reflux I used a combination of herbs and diet to cure the acid. So along with a strict diet I used Peppermint oil, Ginger root, liquorice root, turmeric, and garden angelica, I took these in supplement form as well as powdered, I hope my story helps you guys, if you are interested in alternative medicine click the link to have a look at the Blog I stumbled across yesterday it will amaze you the power that is growing all around us. https://thelostbookofremedies.home.blog/2019/08/18/the-lost-book-of-remedies/

hi,

i know i m replying to an old post. but i m suffering from gastric issues since last two years. it started with lot of bloating and not being able to swallow. i just want to confirm if my symptoms are same as yours. i get burping after eating or drinking anything. then burning sensation in stomach around 1.5/2 hours of eating. i also have burning sensation in my throat. at night i feel bloating and gurgles which feel like intestines are churning. Did you have the same symptoms with gastritis? How was your gastritis confirmed?

Thanks.

I have been having stomach problems since May of 2019 following a bout of food poisoning, lost 7 kg since then but slowly gaining weight. I am posting because reading suggestions here did help me manage symptoms early on in the disease process. I am doing much better now and will share what worked for me. My symptoms were constant nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, abnormal stools for a while, dizziness initially. I tested positive for H.pylori in June and took 3 antibiotics for 10 days. My positive result was very low however and I was barely over the reference for a positive test. My symptoms did not really resolve from this treatment. I took osameprazole for a total of 2 months which helped overcome my severely painful flare ups. However I made the decision early on that I did not want to rely on pharmaceuticals.

Overall what has worked for me:

• cabbage juice for burning stomach pain is your best friend, I did this and the pain would go instantaneously. Use for flare ups only as I was too lazy to juice everyday.
• zinc carnosine, after I started this supplement my symptoms never flared up as bad as previously.
• slippery elm, very good early on, I put it in ginger tea
• • cod liver oil is the only supplement i still take, because it contains vitamins essential to healing the gut, vitamin A, vitamin D.

I have not taken any of thee supplements in several months, looking back they are great for managing symptoms, however do not address my root causes of gastritis. This is trial and error, as if your cause of gastritis is simply stress, or taking NSAID's you can heal taking the above supplements.

What helped me the most was a month of experimenting with strong herbal antimicrobials, so I suspect the root cause of my gastritis was gut dysbiosis, or some kind of infection. Over a month I experimented with numerous antimicrobial's whch seem to have worked:

• black seed oil (anti-parasitic/fungal)
• very high concentration manuka honey or jarrah honey (anti- h.pylori)
• olive leaf extract (anti- h.pylori)
• garlic/ginger pills (excellent for candida)

Since taking these for a month I'm pretty normal, gained 2kg the last 3 weeks as I wanna gain weight slowly. I eat too much junk food on many days but never flare up. On a good day I'm eating 80% good and 20% bad. The only diet rule I am consistent with is avoiding fried foods. I am too lazy to write about diet but fruits, vegetables and whole food proteins are the best. I try and consume homemade kefir and I did so consistently for a week or two after finishing my antimicrobial regiment, but now maybe once or twice a week.

The gut takes time to heal but if you have suffered gastritis just know that it will only get better, both mentally and physically. If you try everything and nothing seems to work, a diet and herbs to get rid of infection and gut dysbiosis might resolve it. The reason I did not wish to take anti-biotics is because they are a nuclear bomb to your good bacteria unlike natural anti-microbials.

What type of aloe did you use? Straight from the leaf? I find straight from leaf irritating for me but i can tolerate george's aloe drink. How are you doing so far in 2020? Still good?

Hi Ines 6375

I have only today for the first time come across your message and this site. I too have searched the internet but found very little to help.

i am 74 years old and have been suffering with gastritis now for approximately 6 years, during which time I have been taking the PPI Esomaprazole bd. Over the past 12 months I have also been diagnosed with IBS and mild diverticulitis. and I have a bowel condition and was referred back to my local hospital who just increased my Gaviscon. I am desperate to stop taking this drug and improve my overall health. I had H Pylori apparently 20 years ago and although my doctor says I was treated for it I have no recollection of being given the 2:1 treatment. However I was retested recently and told I do not have it now. There again when referred for a scan they missed the stones I had in my gall bladder and I ended up having it removed.

DIET

I like many others do not like taking PPI and I am concerned about the long term effects. My GP has never helped with any alternatives. The difficulty i have with following a diet is that my husband is diabetic and also has diverticulitis.Trying to accommodate both diets is quite difficult. The only guidance I have had is to follow the almost impossible list of foods "not to eat" for gastritis. This does not produce a balanced diet and because you are supposed to eat "little and often" makes life very difficult. So much so that my weight has increased dramatically.

OTHER SIDE EFFECTS

I have recently started having gastric symptoms in the early hours of the morning and was really .concerned when I changed dentists to hear that the acid is badly eroding my teeth. I wake with

mucous on my lips and in my mouth, although this has improved of late.

TREATMENT

I too have had problems when taking prebiotics and ginger. I had not heard of dexilant, Zinc Carnosine or DGI licorice but will certainly be giving them a try if I can find them. Thank you for the book recommendations . I have tried others but none of them helped. I will certainly look for these. Are you in the UK? as this is often significant when looking for products.

I will hopefully let you know how I get on.

Hi everyone. i have been following this discussion for a few years now. i have been diagnosed with IBS. I had an endoscopy about 6 years ago and had several ulcers and was in a lot of pain, couldn't sleep and i was miserable. i went on PPI and zantac and a bunch of other stuff that only provided mild relief. i even took amitriptyline fir a while, which hel ped a lot but i started having heart problems. i switched to a doctor at UCI and he suggested i try IB Gard. it worked! it is over the counter and i get it on Amazon. At first i took it every day but now i only take it maybe once per week. i give it to family members when they have an upset stomach and it is very helpful for them too. i highly recommend giving it a try. It is the only thing that has truly helped me.
