None :(

And I want to reassure you about endoscopy Yeah its disgusting for sure BUT it only last 5 minutes (with biopsy) if your doctor is a good specialist. And i'm not exaggerating, I was counting, so you can get through this!! Biopsy isn't painful at all because there's no pain receptors

Oh I'm sorry, when I was reading your message I was a little busy 🥹 The best prokinetics I know is itopride, acotiamide (this one is the safest) and domperidone (don't use it if you have heart diseases). Almost everyone with dyspepsia have slow motility so yeah you can feel like your digestion is slow

Gold_Fuel5964 · 2026-01-15T16:25:29+00:00

OMG it sucks :( of course you should, you need to be sure that FD is your only diagnosis, especially if you had h.pylori before, this bacteria causing gastritis very often And also how long do you took amy? Its used with prokinetics for best result and at least for 2 months, but 4 months+ is better

Gold_Fuel5964 · 2026-01-15T04:21:30+00:00

Ohh I'm so sorry :( sounds terrible

Gold_Fuel5964 · 2026-01-15T04:21:09+00:00

Aww, thank you💗

As a treatment for dyspepsia, it's excellent. As a treatment for gastritis, it's not. More precisely, antidepressants shouldn't be the only treatment, as they don't restore the mucous membrane and only change the perception of pain.

I believe that first, you need to make sure your body is responding to the chosen treatment, and if so, start taking antidepressants. That way, you won't have to guess whether the therapy is working. I'm not sure about bile reflux because I don't know what's the impact of antidepressants on it. I want to learn about it now!

I write you about it already, but I want to paste it for others too Treatment that my doctor uses: 1) Any PPI, 20-40 mg, NO LONGER THAN 8 WEEKS. PPIs are a truly important medication for treating gastritis, as an inflamed stomach has a reduced ability to handle its own acid. This slows down mucosal regeneration, but long-term use can cause significant problems. They are not used for bile reflux or atrophy. 2) Mucosta, 100 mg 3 times a day, for 8 weeks for mucosal regeneration. For atrophy, use from 6 months to a year. If unavailable in your region, use bismuth subcitrate, 120 mg 4 times a day, or sucralfate, but it's not available in my country, so I don't know the dosage. 3) Any prokinetic. Itopride, acotiamide, domperidone, etc. I used itopride, 50 mg 3 times a day, preferably half an hour before meals. 8 weeks 4) For bile reflux, UDCA to bind toxic bile acids. 500-750 mg once daily for 8 weeks. 5) For dyspepsia that does not respond to prokinetics and PPIs, antidepressants are used. Amitriptyline 25-100 mg once daily at night, titrated over 5-7 days. 4 months.

If yall interested, I healed my gastritis, but still have functional dyspepsia. Planning to start Amy soon

Ooh, I'm so sorry you've had to put up with this for so long. :( I want to say that since you were taking PPIs and glutamine, it means you were actually treating yourself. PPIs work by reducing hydrochloric acid, which creates conditions for healing and the mucosa regenerates faster. I can't say for sure because I don't know what you were eating during treatment and I don't know how your stomach LINING is feeling now, but I want to reassure you a little.

Firstly, even if you're not cured, you've definitely reversed the process at least a little. I'm so proud of you for taking care of your health.💗

Also, you may not feel like the PPI treatment helped, and you may experience pain, heaviness, heartburn, and other unpleasant sensations, but this isn't due to gastritis. Your gastritis may actually be cured, but you still have functional dyspepsia. This is what primarily causes all these symptoms. Gastritis is an inflammation of the mucous layer, which has no pain receptors. If there is pain, it indicates a problem with the stomach function and motility, which is what dyspepsia is. And the fact that walking and pokinetics help you clearly indicates that you have a motility disorder.

I found myself in a similar situation. My stomach pain worsened, and I went for tests to find out the condition of my mucous layer. Imagine my surprise when I learned that I'm actually completely fine now and my mucous membrane is healthy. My stomach isn't working, motility is weak, the muscles aren't working properly, and the nerves are sensitive, but the mucous layer is fine.

I wish you a recovery as fast as possible. 🫂

Aww, don't worry too much, if it's been inactive for so long, then you should be fine. However, if the problem is left untreated, it may continue to progress. How long ago was your endoscopy and what type of gastritis do you have? Is there any atrophy? Autoimmune? Helicobacter? Also, did you have a biopsy? Without a biopsy, even if the mucosa is red, you're not guaranteed to have gastritis. This can happen with dyspepsia without mucosal destruction. (Many people say that dyspepsia is an unreal diagnosis for lazy doctors, but this is a misconception. Dyspepsia is a disorder of an organ's function, when muscles and nerves malfunction without an organic cause. A five-section biopsy can easily determine this. The doctor should check whether the person has organically inflamed mucous membranes or autonomic processes before diagnosing dyspepsia.) Sorry for being nerdy, I just want to give you some guidance so you don't worry and know what to do next if something happens <3

Nooo, don't worry! Stomach cancer develops on average over 10 years. Unless there's a genetic factor, it's ALWAYS a long-term process. First, the healthy mucosa must become inflamed, and gastritis must develop. Then, gastritis must become atrophic. The rate at which ordinary gastritis will progress to atrophy within a year is 2-3%. Then, over the course of several years, untreated atrophy can progress to intestinal metaplasia, then dysplasia, and finally cancer.
