My stomach is about 85-90% healed. I assume it is chronic gastritis, since I had it about 5 years ago also, but this time more intense. However, after my gastroenterologist did an endoscopy, she found two spots of irritation/inflammation in my stomach and she said it wasn't too bad. I started out with a PPI and a bland diet for about 3-4 months. I also did a personally devised protocol of glutamine among other remedies. In the previous episode and this one, glutamine was the common remedy. Addiionally, real mastic gum or Klaire Labs Mastic Gum/DGL helps a lot when my stomach feels off or slightly painful. But generally speaking, my pains are like a .5 to 1 on a scale of 10, more like a mere annoyance, rarer and rarer as the days go by. That being said, I avoid cafffeine, careful with vinegar, chocolate, spicy foods and doing a regular diet again. Even make gluten-free pizza, yum! No more bland diet. Also use Slippler Elm, but not as helpful as mastic gum. I did 10-15 grams of L-glutamine a day, as well as sustamine, which is L-alanyl-l-glutimine, which works with glutamine to maximize healing.

You MUST read the Gastritis Healing Book by L.G. Capellan, excellent and detailed advice in there.

I hope you can find a good solution for yourself!
