Andreas/Anyone - Help for Gastritis
Dear Andreas,
I have been suffering from gastritis on and off for years. Firstly it was caused by H.Pylori, now this has gone, yet I still get the gastritis (inflammation of stomach lining).
My symptoms are no appetite, pain in the stomach area, and generally feeling low. (I am presuming it is gastritis. As I was well at time of gastroscopy, nothing showed up, but I am awaiting biopsy results.)
It usually comes on after a period, or maybe if I am under stress, not enough sleep, travelling or eat badly. (I mostly try to follow your diet recommendations). It can last days or even weeks. I have tried various things, from antacids, to aloe vera, manuka honey, royal jelly, gamma oryzanol, etc.
I eat little when I have it, usually cooked oats, bread, cooked veg. sometimes fish and drink herbal teas. I know Ayurveda recommends a 3 day fast to sort it out, but I find this difficult, I feel faint and lose a lot of weight when it strikes anyway.
Do you know of anything that could help when I have it? Anything soothing or calming for the inflammation? I was going to order some Neem but I have wasted money on so many supplements, I thought I would ask your advice first.
Thank you so much as always,
Val
PS If anyone on this forum has cured their gastritis/ulcers any help would be greatly appreciated.
