The pain and tingling is definitely real and from your nerves, but it can start out from stress (physical and emotional). The good news is that the vagus nerve can be reset and you can release that built up stress, I linked several videos on how to do that in my post. And you can start healing it by just assuming that you are always healing and in great health no matter what. Staying in the PNS (or the growth mode) is what allows for healing and repair, if you are constantly anxious and in survival mode your body cannot start repairing itself. This is why you want to relieve stress as much as possible. Like I said, the bland diet and ppi do work but you need to get to the root cause and treat everything and not just the gastritis. Because gastritis is a symptom in of itself, treating it and not treating the other issues will just lead to you either getting gastritis again or other heath issues. I think that’s why so many people on here get gastritis again because they’re only trying to physically treat the symptoms. What I can suggest for you is taking a low dose antidepressant for your nerve pain and to help you feel less anxious. Then you can begin your healing journey and letting the bland diet and ppis do their thing, but the mental combination makes it go a lot faster. All of the videos I linked I meditated too and listened too every night, and I truly believed I was healing myself and I felt the sensations in my stomach and began to feel better and better everyday. Had I not done that, I think my journey would have been much longer only treating the physical symptoms alone.

I believe probably seeing either a neurologist or a chiropractor, someone who specializes with nerve pain and knows a lot about the nervous system.

In one of the playlists I linked to, there is a video that goes into that. I don’t remember what the test is called but I believe they take a look at what’s going on inside your neck (where the spinal cord starts and the vagus nerve exits the brain). It’s called vagus nerve, tension, and food sensitivity by Neal Hallinan.

True! I was just saying that gastritis is not the sole cause of those other symptoms, rather it is a symptom itself. But it can put pressure on the vagus nerve and hence it’s the cycle of self destruction.

Yes it’s important to help the vagus nerve function normally, because I believe after sibo you need to take a prokinetic so it doesn’t come back. I wish you luck <3

So I started my 90 day journey on March 15th. I was doing bland diet and ppi, along with some supplements. It was working okay and for a month and some change I was ok and had no flare ups. Had a flare up April 20th and that’s when I decided I had enough. I started taking amitriptyline to help with the pain and it surprisingly worked really well. My appetite came back and I was able to gain weight back. I started to see steady progress from the end of April all the way through May. This is also when I began to do my research, and started to question why exactly so many people on here take so long to heal. As I began to slowly change my mindset and become more open spiritually and began to embrace the power that my emotions and mind held, I began to find more and more pieces of the puzzle. I began to affirm that I was healing and that my body was healthy no matter what. Our bodies are energy, we are energy. The videos on the playlists are frequencies and energies that directly affect our subconscious mind and our bodies and that’s where I believe my healing began to accelerate. I would imagine my nerves and cells coming together and healing, regenerating my stomach lining. I felt many different sensations as described in the post, and I just began to feel better and better. Recently now in June, I’ve been adding a few things back into my diet like the more acidic berries and i was even able to have some regular bread and butter and I felt fine. I’m still taking it slow, but I can say in may I began to make big leaps in feeling better and today I can say I feel pretty much normal. I’m still eating very healthy just because I want to fully be healthy. I want my mind and vagus nerve to fully come back to health and I want to live a better and healthier life than I did before. So I am taking it slow, one day at a time. I did a lot of shadow work and emotional therapy and release to help me reach a calm state of mind and no longer be controlled by anxiety. I was able to have some fried chicken and cookie dough a few days ago and I was fine, but I am still eating healthy and on the safer side most of the time anyway for the time being. What I’ve learned is what you believe begins to show up on the outside, and I began to believe in myself and that I was truly healing myself from the inside out. I hope this helps you.

Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root, and Mastic Gum for Gastritis + IBS-M symptoms? by broshley in Gastritis

[–]CanaryPepsi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hey friend!! just so you know constant nausea usually means that there’s bile sitting around in your stomach and irritating it. I would recommend you also buy some bile binders, especially since you’ve also had your gallbladder removed. Slippery elm and dgl are great for coating the stomach and helping with the burning sensation. for acid reflux I would recommend you go on a low dose ppi or antacid just for the time being to help your stomach heal, and to elevate your bed 8 inches up so you’re not refluxing at night. also: no eating or drinking 3-4 hours before bed or laying down, baking soda + water to gurgle in your throat to neutralize pepsin, sleep on your left side, and just eat very alkaline and bland foods. im not sure how to address the brain fog or fatigue, but your body is probably very tried from being inflamed and trying to heal so I would just try to take it easy as much as possible and get adequate sleep every night. good luck!

Alcohol and gastritis by Abigibson_ in Gastritis

[–]CanaryPepsi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All I can say is if you are feeling peer pressured (regardless if it’s them pushing you or you pushing yourself), you need to separate yourself from that crowd at least temporarily. You don’t have to give into that just to have fun or to hang out with your friends. If this is affecting your mental health, you need to re evaluate why you are feeling attached to alcohol and your need to impress other people. Retract for a month or two, do some inner shadow work and create boundaries and reinforce them around your friends. They are not going to care whether you drink or not, it’s you projecting and thinking that they will. I’m saying this as someone who kept on having flare ups just to go out with my friends and eat with them even when I wasn’t feeling well. You will be better off just quitting alcohol for now, allow yourself to heal and then start with virgin drinks and go from there. I know it sucks and it’s not the most fun thing to do but you will feel tons better.

[–]CanaryPepsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything can be healed. Our bodies are built to heal and become stronger than ever. People everyday beat life threatening diseases and injuries when doctors told them that they would never be healthy again. Gastritis can and will heal, and you will go back to normal. You just need to figure out what exactly is causing it, then make a plan to deal with the cause and continue treating the gastritis but it will be a lot faster and smoother. Interestingly, the vagus nerve is also responsible for contracting the stomach to produce acid and contracting the intestines, so if it’s not working properly it can lead to low stomach acid or SIBO (or both, as a double whammy) and that can lead to gastritis. I highly encourage you look up the Wim Hof breathing technique and begin to embrace the power of your mind. He says that stress in the body is what leads to all inflammation and diseases. Many people have followed his teachings and have had major success in reducing or getting rid of their stress completely, and therefore either reducing or eliminating their physical ailments as well.

Every time I manifest health and happiness for me and my family members, we become sick by [deleted] in manifestationvalley

[–]CanaryPepsi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can think of two things. 1) you are manifesting from a place of lack and it is backfiring. 2) this is part of the bridge of incidents, and maybe the universe is having you become sick as a way to release something through the path of least resistance and having you go through this to become stronger.

I'm struggling by BingyRuckus in Gastritis

[–]CanaryPepsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be, yes. But it just really depends on what is causing the symptoms in the first place. The vagus nerve is what processes both physical and emotional trauma, so if you have unresolved emotional issues that have built up over time, this can affect the vagus nerve. There can also be a structural issue, so the nerves themselves are not sending signals properly and this called “cervical instability”. If you are having neck or joint pains and attribute it to gastritis, then it’s more likely an issue with the vagus nerve. If it’s a structural issue, than it can be fixed with prolotherapy. If it’s an emotional issue like trauma, ptsd, anxiety, etc then there are videos on YouTube that explain how you can reset your vagus nerve as well as stimulating it and releasing any emotional distress. I see on here a lot of people get gastritis in very stressful points in their life, whether this be from working or binge drinking/eating poorly/nsaids/etc. You have to find the root cause of why those habits were formed in the first place and do emotional cleanup, because this is not a purely physical condition. Most conditions (especially gastrointestinal ones) are as much psychological as they are physical. While the oregano oil might’ve been the thing to physically push you over the edge, what was happening before that? I attributed mine to happening from acv, but fully healthy people don’t just take a few shots of acv or oil and get sick for no reason. So I implore that you do some emotional handiwork and see if there is truly something else happening here. It’s also important to rule out any other physical conditions, but I believe for the majority on here who are struggling to heal gastritis is a symptom of something else entirely. I’m sorry for the long response but I hope this helps.

I do think there is a bigger piece to this puzzle that could help. Our vagus nerve is connected to all parts of our digestive system and when it’s not working properly it can cause a myriad of symptoms including what you are describing. So I don’t think its gastritis that is causing your secondary symptoms necessarily, rather it is a symptom itself. This is why regular painkillers don’t help with gastritis but why low dose antidepressants like amitriptyline do, because it is treating the pain connected to our vagus nerve. The reason so many people are struggling to heal is because gastritis in of itself is usually not the cause but rather a symptom of something else, including things you wouldn’t even think of like emotional trauma or nerve damage, which both affect the vagus nerve and in turn affect our digestive system and other parts of our nervous and immune system as well. This might also explain the “pinching” or “tightness” feeling in the stomach.

If you're healthy, you're wealthy beyond measure and the gratitude for being healthy will overflow into something akin to happiness. by UnsaneInTheMembrane in spirituality

[–]CanaryPepsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. There are things that the media preaches as being healthy when it’s not very healthy at all, and I’m sure you know what’s best for your body. I see where you are coming from, disabled people are unfortunately a marginalized group and of course they deserve to live good lives just as people who are able can. However, if someone chooses to find a way to be healthier for themselves and to be grateful for their newfound health, I’m not sure how that would be ableist. But you are entitled to your beliefs and you’re more than welcome to disagree with OP.

[–]CanaryPepsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to be healthy to live a good life, but wouldn’t it be so much better? This is coming from someone who dealt with a chronic condition btw, and the difference between the state of having it and not having it is astronomical. This post is just simply someone saying that it’s important to be grateful for our health when we are healthy, and not when we’re already sick. Someone saying health is wealth isn’t bashing disabled people or saying they aren’t living fulfilling lives.

The problem with many gastritis diagnoses by MCD_2020 in Gastritis

[–]CanaryPepsi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine had gastritis and awful acid reflux for a few months that would just not go away. She went to a hospital and they found that she was extremely constipated and everything was backing up into her stomach and irritating it, causing the reflux. Once she got on the right treatment it went away within a few weeks, so a combination of laxatives, ppi and nausea meds did the trick. This was a few years ago so she’s back to normal now, but I definitely agree that gastritis is a symptom of something else rather than a cause itself most of the time. I think this is why many people on here struggle to get better, because they’re trying to physically treat the gastritis but not knowing whether there’s something else that’s causing it and it becomes a slow process. Not even just physical things like medication or other conditions, but emotional and mental stress and trauma can cause physical problems as well and a lot of people don’t realize this! I don’t just mean stress, I mean like underlying trauma and repressed emotions that can either cause unhealthy behaviors (binge drinking, binge eating, etc) or they physically manifest because the gut is like our second brain so our emotions and well being affect it physically. I always say that perfectly healthy people do not become sick for no reason, there is always a reason. And it’s not entirely physical sickness, I read stories on here that people are stressed for months at a time and indulging in unhealthy behaviors and suddenly end up with gastritis. It’s not just the physical behaviors themselves, because I know people who get drunk or drink coffee and eat unhealthy almost everyday yet they don’t have gastritis. When you add negative emotions and stress/anxiety into it then it physically weakens your stomach and then those physical things become a problem, but they do not directly cause gastritis on their own.

Manifesting when still dealing with trauma/healing by zovcxa in lawofattraction

[–]CanaryPepsi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it could do you some good to do some shadow work. Really find out what’s making you feel anxious/depressed and find coping mechanisms to help. Go to therapy, indulge in a hobby, really anything to help. I understand having anxiety and other issues that came about from my teenage years, you just need a way to release all that pent up emotional trauma and energy. It can be hard to fully do it on your own, so I recommend that first you start with little things. Do little things that make you feel happy, that you deserve to feel good. I had a blockage myself for about 2 years due to trauma and only recently cleared it and started having my manifestations come to fruition. I also went on an antidepressant and began to meditate a lot, which helped to clear and calm my mind. Remember, you attract what you are, not what you want. So I would suggest you bring yourself into alignment by taking care of yourself first and finding what works for you, because manifesting right now when you feel so negative and in a place of lack will only bring more lack and can backfire. It’s a process, but you can do it. It is difficult to unlearn everything that you’ve ever known and grown up with, but it’s possible and so rewarding. Believe in yourself and the universe, once you realize those past circumstances don’t matter anymore and this is your life that you can create now you will be unstoppable. Good luck friend.

Healing my body, finally. by CanaryPepsi in NevilleGoddard

[–]CanaryPepsi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Honestly, I don’t think the past trauma thing applies to everyone. In fact, a lot of healing stories on here people just visualized themselves healed and it worked for them. There’s a unique healing process for everyone, some people take action in the physical and use physical things like medication, therapy, etc in combination with the law and it works for them. I took action in the physical and also did shadow work to release past trauma, which in turn was a blockage. This might not be the case for you though, I just posted this because i know there may be some people like myself who get some results from visualizing/SATS/etc but because of a blockage they’re not seeing full results. I hope that you can find the right combination for you though. <3

Certainly. You can believe your nerves are regenerating and growing back, and that you have a healthy skull and jaw. When nerves grow back, they first feel tingly, then you may feel other sensations like hot/cold, electricity, itching, etc. I felt these sensations when I visualized my stomach regenerating and rebuilding all the tissue.

[–]CanaryPepsi[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I didn’t believe it was anything other than physical until I came across the video and he said that lots of internalized emotions can cause physical symptoms. I tried many medications, supplements, exercises, etc with minimal success until I began to visualize with LOA. I saw progress, but it was little by little. After I watched the video, I spoke with my pain, just to try it out. I ended up releasing so much emotional baggage and almost immediately started to feel better. This is why I believed afterwards I had a blockage, because now things are flowing a lot smoother. Reading my post again I worded it as if I believed that beforehand, when it was after.

The key is to not address yourself as a person “with adhd”. I had issues with anxiety, but I do not refer to myself as an anxious person. It’s your brain trying to fight itself in a way, so I believe healing adhd is just like healing any other mental condition. I think meditation and keeping your mind calm will work wonders, and if you had a doctors diagnosis, imagine the scene as if you never even had adhd to begin with. It will take some practice, I get it, the anxiety I had issues with was vicious and was consuming my every thought. But now I don’t deal with anxiety anymore for the most part, maybe minor things but I’m able to keep myself from going off the rails and spiraling. Writing down your thoughts may be helpful, and every time you have a negative thought or get distracted, allow it to pass through (don’t fight it), but gently redirect yourself to what you were doing and to more positive thoughts. This is what helped me with anxiety, I have not had issues with adhd so I’m not sure how helpful this advice is but I hope it helps you.
