My body started itching and had a bad stomach pain, then diagnosed with gastritis. Is gastritis and itching on my body connected?

Hi adelle 1105
Itching over the body can be linked with liver problems. Visit your doctor and tell him/her of your itching symptom...

unfortunately my results weren't great!
GASTRITIS, barretts and todays results ulcerative colitis.
there is most definately a connection with the flare up of gastritis and itching mainly at night.
ive found low dose valium helps ease the agitation.

hi linda
are you saying these bites are related to the gastritis as apposed to either of thr other two diagnosis you had
if you could share any or all of your symtoms it would be really helpfull as maybe i have what you have

they arent bites, just my way of describing them.
omg, where to start?
tiredness, headaches, general feeling of unwell, bloating,stomach pain, wind, bleeding, itching,fever, rapid heart beat,heartburn, trouble swallowing certain foods, mind foginess, depression, trouble sleeping......

Wait this is interesting lol. I haven't gone to gastro yet, but I've been having Gastritis type symptoms, and I've also been having generalized itching.
It is mostly on my neck and arms but can be anywhere rlly. I just start feeling itchy in a spot and I scratch and then it becomes red and sometimes even little hives appear. It's not my detergent or anything, I don't know what it's coming from. I thought maybe it was a stress itch bc I also have anxiety.

I'm interested in this discussion as I too have excess acid issues plus I come out in itchy hives, mostly on my arms. I wondered if there was a connection with histamine?

Hi Linda,
My gastritis is kicking back up due to a lot more alcohol intake lately, and I havent been taking my prilosec. The worse the pain in my stomach has gotten (assuming my gastritis is acting up) the more itching I get. it's usually on my arms, head, and legs. Glad to read that others experience this as well. i'll be hopping back on prilosec, tuning the diet, and cutting the alcohol, i'll see if that helps.
