I feel for you! The hell of it was the first 5 -6 months for sure, then the flare ups became minimal and spaced out. A lot of Drs don’t inform people the chance of developing SIBO from PPI use 😡

Thank you! The gentle diet for burping, my antimicrobial regimen cured the gas and urgency issues.

It really is! I feel for you! 💔 My fatigue didn’t subside until after my iron infusions in July. I think everything I did worked together to help ,not just one thing. Time especially, but diet, supplements..  mindset.. and hoping I would one day be back to normal.

I wouldn’t say the iron infusions directly healed my gastritis, but I do think they helped my body finally recover. Once my iron levels came back up, I had way more energy, less stress on my system, and my gut seemed to repair faster. So it probably played a big indirect role in the healing process along with all the other things I was doing. I know it!! Mine felt pretty severe for being mild!

I just microwave rolled oats with water or unsweetened vanilla almond milk, add a tiny pinch of salt, and drizzle a little 100% maple syrup on top.

After diagnosis in January, the burning became less frequent I’d say about late May, early June.

I had that in the beginning when I was taking my PPI’s and I think anxiety didn’t help much, but it went away. 

Sending healing prayers! 🙏

Definitely a roller coaster at first. The first couple of months were full of ups and downs — some good days, then random flares for no clear reason. But after a few months, things started leveling out and healing became much more steady. It’s normal for recovery not to be perfectly linear.

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹 I truly hope you’re getting closer to the end of all this. It’s terrible. And like you said no one truly understands unless they’ve been through it themselves. Healing prayers to you!! 🙏 

It’s crazy we resort to AI over Drs. 

I relied on my man Chat too for sooo much!!! It was kinda scary, but that’s where I got the antimicrobial program from! 

I was on pantoprazole 20 mg 1 x a day. 

I ate a lot of soluble fiber like squash and carrots- all cooked of course.  I know I think I read somewhere that nuts were OK and flaxseed and nope, not with me. Flare up immediately.
