Gastritis vs celiac: Celiac disease doesn't usually cause stomach pain the way gastritis does. The inflammation is found in the small intestines for celiac disease.  Sometimes gastritis takes awhile to get better. Taking ppis can be tricky. The medication needs to be in your bloodstream when you eat protein, so some of the products have to be taken about thiry minutes before you eat.

Question 6

is it possible for lactose intolerance to cause chronic gastritis/duodenitis?

Accepted Answer

Lactose intolerance: Lactose intolerance occurs due to a deficiency in lactase in the gut cells.  Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose sugar.  Gas and bloating occur as the lactose is instead broken down by the gut bacteria.  It is not a cause of chronic gastritis or duodenitis.
