Question 5

i have really bad anxiety and i worry excessively. everyday all day. im sad a lot. can this cause weight loss even tho im eating ok. i also have chronic gastritis and chronic peptic duodenitis?

Accepted Answer

: Regardless of your physical challenges, you do need emotional support to control you anxiety and worries.  Several tools can help, and this includes cognitive-behavioural therapy, meditation, biofeedback, low impact aerobic exercise like swimming, and even acupuncture.  Medications can cover symptoms but over the long run, the above approaches are far more lasting.

Question 6

can chronic gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome cause weight loss???

Accepted Answer

: Both conditions can cause weight loss.  IBS is frequently associated with food allergies.  Chronic gastritis is usually associated with food allergies and intolerance to hot,spicy food.  Fortunately today, many medications are available to treat your symptoms.  Check with your PCP for assistance.

Question 7

5 months upper-mid abd. pain/18 pound weight loss. upper gi,  us,  2 cts, 1 mri. ugi found gastritis, hp neg. no help from ppis. gallbladder ok. cts/mri  followed spleen lesions, thought now to be sarcoid. could sarcoid cause other pain? (lungs ok.)

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Your various and detailed testing only showed gastritis but your ongoing pain combined with significant weight loss suggests more than gastritis going on. I recommend a gastroscopy with special attention to areas of the stomach where some gastric ulcers-benign or malignant are difficult to visualize. If you've already had a gastroscopy I recommend another one for thoroughness.

Question 8

can gastritis cause difficulty in weight loss? been eating low carb, counting calories, lots of exercise, no weight loss! lots of gas, bloating, cramps

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Gastritis  can cause  improper digestion with gas, bloating, and cramps. This indicates a problem with stomach acid, small intestine enzymes, gut bacteria or  combination thereof. Carbohydrates may stay too long in stomach and/or proteins/fats may pass through too quickly resulting in fermentation or putrefaction. Use enzymes, betaine and acidophilus from  professional sources for best results.

Question 9

does gastritis lead to weight loss even if one eats?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: It often does because of the nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite along with abdominal pain.

Question 10

for 57+ f, is hot flush in the body along with some amount of gastritis & weight loss normal in summer ? or, could there be serious illness ?

Accepted Answer

Normal in summer: Gastritis and weight loss is not normal at any time. Hot flushes is of concern.
I doubt there is a serious illness but to be sure you should see your primary doctor for examination and lab studies.
Hope all goes well.
