Question 1

what is a typical breakfast for one with gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: The suffix "itis" means "inflammation" the prefix "gastro" means "stomach" so the term "gastritis" thus means an "inflamed stomach." But the term is often used imprecisely to mean stomach upset, which can derive from both acid &amp; non-acid causes, slow emptying of the stomach, H.pylori infection, atrophic &amp; hypersecretory problems. Start with acid blockers, diet moderation, avoid alcohol/tobacco.

Question 2

what can i use, along with dexlansoprazole 60mg one time a day before breakfast, to help healing my mild antral gastritis and tiny duodenum ulcer?

Accepted Answer

H2 Blocker.: You can complement the efficacy of Dexlansoprazole with something like Pepcid or Zantac (ranitidine).  The two types of medication reduce stomach acidity by different mechanisms,miso they complement each other well.  if this doesn't do the trick, say in four weeks, see GI doctor for EGD and biopsies to rule out infection or acid secretory issue.

Question 3

what can i include in my diet for treating chronic gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Suggestions 4 ulcer: Once you've ruled out &amp;/or treated H.pylori and avoided nsaid's, combine acid suppression medication with the following: minimize meal size as well as intake of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, fatty/fried foods, fizzy drinks. Advice changes, of course, if ulcers are due to crohn's, cancer, "stress-related" (systemic disease), caustic ingestion, etc. Check with diagnosing doctor who knows you best.

Question 4

what is a good diet plan after being diagnosed with chronic inactive gastritis?

Accepted Answer

No one size fits all: Your answer is quite complicated. If serious conditions and food allergies and insenstivities have all been excluded, it is a great idea to keep a food diary. Keep track of what foods agree with your system and which foods agravate your digestive tract. Alcohol and coffee and spicy foods should be avoided.

Question 5

i was told i have gastritis. do i have to live with it? does it go away/ heal? once it heal can i go back to my normal diet?

Accepted Answer

Cause=Cure: Gastritis just means "inflammation of the stomach."  there are many causes of this from medications, like Aspirin and advil, (ibuprofen) to a bacteria, called h. Pylori.  Most of the time gastritis is temporary and can be treated so that you will be able to return to your normal diet.  Find out the cause, and you'll find out the cure.

Question 6

having symptoms of gastritis over last 2.5 weeks &have linked it to taking motrin. i've stopped & changed my diet. how long til it goes away?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the severity of the gastritis. Without medications like prilosec, bland diet, avoidance of caffeine, alcohol and stress it may take weeks to heal. If you're not feeling better by now see your physician or a gastroenterologist.

Question 7

i have chronic gastritis. my dr gave me protonix 40mg twice a day and 40 mg famotine at bedtime. doing lot better .but on this now for 3 months. watching my diet. what your thoughts?

Accepted Answer

: It sounds like you have pretty bad gastritis! That is a high dose of two drugs that both decrease acid production, and while can be used together it is not that common, especially for a long period of time. Some follow-up after three months to decide if both drugs are still needed is advisable. I would think someone has looked at your stomach (called an EGD). These meds have side effects over time

Question 8

help with diet to trest reactive gastritis and barret's metaplasia?

Accepted Answer

Barrett's: Metaplasia is more serious than dysplasia and I trust you're followed by a gastroenterologist and are on appropriate medications. As for diet, avoid caffeine,alcohol as well as nicotine. I favor no spicey,fried  or greasy food and no eating for 2 hours before bedtime.. Avoid irritants like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen.

Question 9

what fruits and vegetables should i eat for gastritis? i need to add more fiber to my diet.

Accepted Answer

Diet: Tomatoes (often called a vegetable but actually a fruit) are often very good for gastritis. Citrus is best avoided. The easiest way to add fiber to your diet is to get a jar of Millers bran and throw a teaspoon into everything you eat. It has no detectable taste and therefore can be added to anything.

Question 10

why would reactive gastritis be seen on endoscopy if low acid diet and h2 blockers are the norm?  what other recommendations are there?

Accepted Answer

Gastritis causes: Gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) can be caused by excess stomach acid associated with smoking, alcohol or caffeine.  Gastritis can also be due to anti-inflammatory medications (nsaids) e.G  Aleve (naproxen),  motrin/advil (ibuprofen) and others. Another cause: bile reflux after gallbladder removal. Diet has a minimal role and h2 blockers may need to be upgraded to ppi (prilosec, prevacid).
