Hi David, it's nice to hear from you.

I was diagnosed with erosive gastritis a while back. The doctor said that stress / depression was a major contributor as it increases acid levels in the stomach which eventually begin to erode away the lining. I was prescribed omeprazole and lanzoprazole for ages but I kept forgetting to take them.

On one of my many Google sessions, I came across an article recommending magneisum supplements for depression. The added bonus is that they also act on harmful stomach acids. I got a supplement from Sainsbury's and took them alongside my normal antidepressants. To be honest I felt better during that few weeks that I had done for quite a while. I need to go and get some more really as I've run out. You have reminded me! Has your doctor referred you for an endoscopy?

Hi David have you had tests to make sure there is nothing wrong with your stomach? If not I would insist on them. I don't think it is natural to have to keep taking meds for the pain. I think your dr needs to investigate further. Take care x

Hi David I was on that omneprazole for 3 months, as Meds and stress gave me

Terrible stomach pain. Now it's fine and David the thing is the more you worry

The worse your stomach will get, it's a vicious cycle. Stress makes stomach

Produce too much acid.

David try and relax as your going to make it worse if you don't . Bev is right too,

As Dr. Should look into your symptoms as well.

Kind regards
