How to eat and deal with gastritis, help?? :(
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hey guys hopefully I'm doing this right since I'm new here. So, i was recently diagnosed with gastritis the other day & I am having the worst time ever trying to eat with this. Honestly. I feel full most of the time; it's like this one spot in the kinda upper middle part of my stomach. It makes it so hard to eat because I feel like I just ate AND I also feel nauseous . It sucks. I was put on Pepcid 20mg twice a day & last night was my second night taking it. I am also so lost as what to eat & what to not have because I hear mixed answers. I know I'm supposed to have bland foods but specifically which ones? Also, I was told no coffee or tea even if it was decaf. I'm used to having either one for breakfast so any suggestions on what hot drink to have now? Can I have soy or almond milk? Would having for example an almond croissant be bad? I would grab one of those for breakfast too. I'm only 24 & this is honestly depressing. I feel so sick I don't even want to go out anymore because of the nausea & yeah in general I feel ill. I would greatly appreciate the help of anyone who has gone through this or is going through this. By the way, as I keep taking my medication will the full sensation and nausea subside? My appetite also sucks , will it return eventually as my stomach heals with time? I know the stomach is sensitive so this isn't going to be a walk in a park but I would like to start feeling better in a week or two hopefully. Oh and how far apart should I eat? I try to keep it 2-3 hours since I feel full all the time so hopefully this is okay. Thank you so much for your time!!

deesan, I thought much on this eating issue, searched diets on internet and also diet from my doctor. According to irritale bowel snydrome diets, nearly everything is forbidden, and nearly all diet says eat 6 times a day with small portions,
How will I eat 6 times a day, just keep some meals and eat them later ? How will I keep ? I am an office worker, they are not fast food to keep, even they are if you keep, they will smell out. so, this idea can be skipped. I eat 3 times a day like everybody, thats it, I do not count small things during day like a piece of chocolate, biscuet, a furuit or cake.
you feel only nauseous ?,also bad smells from livers.. it realy realy sucks, also other people, I can not soclialize people much because of the that mostly.
Normaly I was drinking at least one coffee latte, and much tea, .
Here is the solution; forget decaf latte /coffee, no help bcos milk even increase diarrhea in stomach.
Drink only light tea in the mornings, that means very little density of black tea
aso try not to drink ready tea like lipton (I don know know which country/culture you belong, some countries do not have tea except ready lipton teas)
Try not to eat any pancek, chocolate except you are not invited into something,
otherwise it is not easy to tell people everytime why you are not eating something.
and the last and most important problem, decrese stress. but how ? yoga ? go hell.. lets get serious, do you remember when you get first this faulty behaviour ? try at least to decrease it, yeah life is pain but there is no reason to be measurable in in front of others, life sucks but be merciful to yourself and try not to decrease pain by not thinking serious things. Thats it, if you find some good ways for the problems, please also inform use. Have a nice day and life ..(if you can !)

By the way,I also had medical diagnoses, endoscopy and colonosopy, many blood and other tests (urinet etc.) nothing ever found.Thats good actually, if something is found, it is worse.
My doctor gave me some pills for stomach movement, a small antidepresant, and diet and no stress. I dopped pills after a hile bcos they have no effect after some point if I do not diet. so, only possible solution is to do diet .. and only possible solution to remove it totally is do not eat anything (even this not helps totaly)
so just eat less, and do not consume foods and beverages that trigger your responsive stomach. I hope these advices will help both you and me

Many on gastritus thread know a lot about diet and supplaments, l think Ines specialises in gastric probs, diet, the weird and wonderful, cabbage juice etc, Hope it settles for you soon.
