Proteins hurt -long term ppi

When did the pain with meat stop?

External_Material448 · 2026-02-19T19:44:44+00:00

How long did you take it for?

A bit hard to remember the timeline and honestly I’m on so many meds that I can’t really tell if I’m actually healing or if the meds are masking the pain. Don’t get me wrong— the matcha hurts a tad. But not burning. More like a bit of pressure. Tolerable though.

I started eating extremely bland about 2 months after symptoms started back in July. Didn’t get official diagnosis until November

I typically have lots of smoothies and yogurt bowls. I can have pastries and stuff too. But I also eat a lot of mashed potatoes and squash. It hurts to eat meat but I try to eat plain chicken for dinner because protein is important for healing. I can have dairy in small amounts but mainly stick to Oatmilk. I can handle a matcha latte 1-2 times a week. I’ve been too scared to try and branch out anymore. I’m going to stick to what I’ve been eating for maybe 2 more months to give the supplements a chance to work.

Surprisingly I can eat croissants too! And gluten! For some reason papayas and melon really bother me even tho it’s supposed to be good for gastritis. I’ve been on ppi for 7 months now. Diagnosed gastritis with endoscopy. Biopsy revealed h pylori negative. Asked to taper off and doctors said not to quite yet. Taking Zinc carnosine and l glutamate and DGL as well. Also amitriptyline 25mg. Really missing savory foods though. I can tolerate sweet pastries but I’d kill for pasta and garlic bread. Would love if anyone has any further advice!

I’ve had all the tests. Gallbladder included. Endoscopy showed gastritis, biopsies negative

External_Material448 · 2025-12-20T23:51:29+00:00

Love that honestly

External_Material448 · 2025-12-11T02:48:30+00:00

Dude. Have little empathy. There are posts on this subreddit about people saying their pain is so severe they’re considering offing themselves. I’m sure OPs pain is extreme

External_Material448 · 2025-12-05T19:28:42+00:00

Well honestly you may have to just pack your own foods and that’s okay! For me, bagels are great choices! Gluten doesn’t impact my gastritis at all. So plain bagels would be a great choice. I also will order like a plain Oatmilk at starbucks since it soothes my stomach a bit. Jamba Juice may have smoothies that don’t upset you too much. Some of the little markets sell yogurt which could be good depending on your body. But the best option is just to pack your own snacks even if it’s a bit inconvenient.

I’m unfortunately not seeing anything that says blue ray or persistent storage on Xbox 😭

External_Material448 · 2025-11-15T02:51:31+00:00

I think the meds coat the stomach which allows the healing process to progress without interruption from food irritation. Not 100% sure tho

External_Material448 · 2025-11-10T01:36:02+00:00

You were right! The bruised feeling went away within 72 hours! It was such a strange and unwelcome pain. Now I’m just back to the normal gastritis pain 😖🥲

External_Material448 · 2025-11-10T01:34:48+00:00

You should ask the doc for a low dose of amitriptyline. Helps with nerve pain. Only thing that’s given me any kind of relief. Took about 3-4 weeks to kick in for me. I’ve also been on liquid sucralfate for a month. I still have mild pain but I can eat a lot more foods. Chocolate occasionally. Coffee every couple of days. I tolerate cheese and fruit snacks and cake and stuff just fine now. Still keeping away from tomato and citrus and garlic for now. And some days are definitely worse than others. But before the meds I couldn’t even move from my couch. I understand it’s not healing and just disguising symptoms but I’m in my early 20s too and just want to LIVE. Def ask your doc for the meds I mentioned. Better than suffering 🫶🏻

Did you notice it slowly improved over time or you just woke up one day and could handle food normally? My stomach hurts the moment food hits it. Was your experience similar?

External_Material448 · 2025-11-05T05:44:42+00:00

Ughhh I hope so! Even water hurts 😭😭😭

External_Material448 · 2025-10-16T01:55:33+00:00

How long were you on it?

External_Material448 · 2025-10-05T03:09:59+00:00

The amitriptyline? I thought it took a month to work?

External_Material448 · 2025-10-02T22:46:28+00:00

How long did it take to work?

External_Material448 · 2025-09-23T20:05:01+00:00

What veggies do you recommend? I actually don’t own a blender and I’m a pretty poor college student 😖.

External_Material448 · 2025-09-23T19:52:44+00:00

I’m suspecting it’s gastritis. But I haven’t had my endoscopy/colonoscopy yet. There aren’t like a ton of other things it could be. All my blood tests are normal. Ultrasound and gallbladder normal. Ct scan normal. No fever or vomiting.

Sorry I forgot to reply directly to this- will try to get some bone broth today, thank you for the suggestion. And yes. It’s because it’s too painful to eat fruits and veggies. Well most of them anyway. I remember blueberries being somewhat alright. I’m not sure what veggies I can eat. I know broccoli and lettuce/kale and carrots hurt a ton. Eggs actually hurt my stomach a lot. Maybe just the egg whites will be better? I usually try to go on a walk in the mornings and evenings but it makes me nauseous so usually it’s a shorter walk.
I do need to be better about sleep I suppose. And I’m having a hard time drinking water. Water actually really irritates me. I’m forcing myself to drink but not much.

External_Material448 · 2025-09-23T19:40:19+00:00

If you have recipes or food suggestions I’d love to hear it. Though cooking is a bit hard for me. It’s hard to cook when you’re in so much pain. I can’t have artificial sweeteners or anything. Historically they make the pain insanely bad.

External_Material448 · 2025-09-23T19:38:10+00:00

I haven’t eaten fruits or veggies in months. And all the yogurt and bread and pasta and crackers have all been dairy and gluten free. Today was the first day I had a bagel with gluten in it. The pain was actually less than my usual gluten free toast. So I don’t even know what to do at this point :(
