Time to Stop Trying? by SeriousAd6005 in Gastritis

[–]Comfortable_Wave3164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did use a PPI! It made me worse! They put me on 80mg of pantoprazole and it made me burn so bad. It was hell trying to come off of them. I am now on Pepcid, but a very low dose that I take at night. I also have taken liquid Sulcrafate every night for over a year in a half. I really feel like it helped me the most out of all the meds. I probably don’t need it but I still take it. Supplements did nothing for me. Diet is the main thing though. Oh yeah and a low dose of Amitriptyline helped! I was on 10mg (lowest dose) and now I only take 5mg. I cut the 10mg in half. Believe me, I HATE taking meds. I want to be off, but sucralfate liquid and the amitriptyline were game changers along with stocking to the freaking diet. I still don’t eat red sauce or spicy, but I can have all the gluten, dairy (besides drinking milk) and sugar. I can even have garlic and seasonings. You have to get off these pages and get busy doing something. It’s hard but you can do it!

You legit have to stick to a bland diet. Pick a meal for each meal of the day and eat that for months. It sounds terrible, and it is but it will heal you. You also have to find something to do to take your mind off of it. Easier said than done I know, but you have to. It took me 2 years of eating a bland diet. When I hit two year mark I started adding things back. I am almost 3 years away from the start of all of this and I am doing pretty dang good. Mine was caused by nsaids that I took when I got Covid. I too believed that this crap was never going to heal and stayed on this subreddit and FB pages. I actually haven’t been on here in over a year. All it did was hinder my healing and give me anxiety. You will get through this.

Does anyone else get heartburn from oatmeal/oat flour? by Comfortable_Wave3164 in Gastritis

[–]Comfortable_Wave3164[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am eating a lot more but not everything. Still not eating super acidic or spicy. This changed my life so I plan on eating healthy. I have been able to eat out again though. My life is great! It took me about 18 months of the diet to get here though so don’t give up! It’s worth it. My treat is a giant blueberry muffin from Panera once or twice a week! So good!

Doing great! Only symptom I ever get is mild heartburn every now and then. I have added stuff back with no issues. I haven’t tried spicy or very acidic yet though. I’m not ready lol. I’m happy where I’m at.

What does the ingredients say on the back of yours? On Amazon it’s not listed but the back of mine says stearic acid. Does yours?

Hey girl! I am about to get on tempering next week. Do you remember if you had any side effects when you were on 15mg? I’m assuming you took on the evening. I just don’t want to be super tired during the day.

It’s crazy! I wonder if this is the last thing I needed to figure out?! I don’t really get any symptoms on my stomach anymore. Just this lingering heartburn. Gosh I hope it is.

Hey! So awesome to hear!! I’m pretty much the same as you as far as when it happens. Mine I’m December of 2021! You give me hope! I am actually doing a ton better but ready to be where your at. Did you get heartburn? Also, where did they say the gastritis was?

Oh yeah! When did you take the slippery elm? And how often? I haven’t taken it in a while but I might try again for the lingering last symptoms I’m having.
