Gastritis?

Question

Im 16. I was diagnosed with gastritis back in February. I know what gastritis is and all, But I still feel sick. It stopped for a week and then it comes back. Ive missed so much school because of it (I think school is the main reason why im sick). My doctor first prescribed me tagamint. It work for a week or so but then it would come back. Then my doctor prescribed me Zantac. It made me feel alittle better but then started making me sicker that I was so I stopped taking it.
I started getting the symptoms again on tuesday. I feel like crap. I thought it was a virus but I dont have a temp and a virus wouldnt have lasted so long. I've losted 15 pounds within the last two months cause I dont feel like eating. My mom keeps asking if i want to go back to the doctor or hospital. But I dont wanna go back cause im tired of them doing xrays, blood work, and ultra sounds and just tell me oh its gastris.
Is there any methods that anyone can tell me that will help me get better?

Answer 1

Chronic gastritis may be an indication of some underlying disease, such as peptic ulcer, pernicicious anemia or a couple of other rather nasty conditions I'd rather not sepcify at this point. It can also be due to food allergies. Perhaps your doctor is looking in the wrong direction. You might benefit from endoscopy. Don't give up on yourself just yet. You deserve to feel better. Persist.

Hi Doodles

Here are some ideas on how to heal the issue.

Quick Action Plan for Gastritis

1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.

2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. At least half gallon a day. I drink a gallon a day.

4. Miso soup and strained vegetable broth, made from cooking down a variety of organic vegetables, are healing and easy to digest, making them especially valuable for any digestive problems.

5. Certain herbs have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help repair the lining of the stomach and intestines. The best herbs for this are Echinacea and goldenseal, aloe vera, cayenne pepper, chamomile, licorice root, and slippery elm.

6. Soothing baths two to five nights a week can help to relieve symptoms of gastritis.

7. Therapeutic juices include raw cabbage juice by itself, or mixed with either carrot or celery juice; raw potato juice; wheatgrass juice; carrot, spinach juice; carrot juice; carrot, beet cucumber.

8. If you smoke, stop, and avoid exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke.

9. Learn how to effectively cope with and manage stress; deep breathing, meditation, Qi Gong and other calming and grounding movement techniques are very supportive.

10. If you are currently taking aspirin or other NSAIDs, consider replacing them with safer, more effective natural remedies.

11. Nutritional supplements include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C, and zinc, taken with a multivitamin/multimineral formula. Essential fatty acids, especial omega-3 oils, are also recommended, as are bismuth and the amino acid L-glutamine.

12. Allow yourself to receive emotional support to help you embrace some of the common underlying issues identified with Gastritis, such as abandonment, anger, disappointment and rage, which often settle in the gut. Seek out a therapist or other skilled practitioner that can guide you through emotional healing work.

13. A colon cleanse would be very effective on the healing process as well. DOnt under estimate this. Very powerful!

Best of health to you
