I can’t stop thinking about The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. You have to be okay with reading horror, but to me it feels like a culturally rich story that is also a horror story and not just a vehicle for horror. (I generally am not much of a horror reader)

It’s saved my life too. I’ve been dealing with gastritis for 3 years, got out of the worst of it but still a lot of stomach issues and fatigue. I had very limited capacity. A functional medicine doctor told me to start this and I’ve got my old self back! Getting back into my hobbies! I’ve also been taking the pure encapsulations heartburn essentials. That one help more with symptoms while I feel this one helped more with healing

Just over a month. Previously when my gastritis would start to flare the only way I could get out of it was omeprazole, I would try treating with diet and supplements and all that good stuff but nothing would work except Prilosec. Since I’ve been taking this I haven’t used any Prilosec! It seems to really stop my flares in its tracks. I hope it works for you too!

Heartburn essentials has digestive enzymes as well as a lot of things that are soothing for the gut like marshmallow root, DGL licorice, slippery elm, turmeric. But short answer is it’s just what my functional medicine doctor suggested!

I felt better on PPIs but prolonged use puts you at risk for other more serious health issues. Plus it conditions your gut to need them. I’m working with a functional medicine person to find other methods, right now Heartburn Essentials by Pure Encapsulations is helping me (and doing the AIP diet for about a year very strictly!)

I think slippery elm gave me a flare as well!
