Losing my hope - Chronic Gastritis!

[Asddtr]

It’s almost a year that I’ve been suffering from chronic gastritis. I’ve done everything – endoscopies and biopsies – and it was found to be chronic gastritis. I have lost 5 kgs. How can I overcome this? If I reduce the medication, my digestive system doesn’t work properly, and if I take the medication, everything is fine. Right now, I am taking DDR 30, Laxiza sachets, and C2 Win 1mg. If I reduce the dose, I start having the same burning sensation in my tummy. I am also careful about my diet, mostly eating roti, sabzi, rice, and avoiding spicy food. I still cannot eat red chili even after a year. Can someone tell me how long it will take to recover? Or is chronic gastritis curable or not?

I have been suffering from Chronic gastritis for 4 years after my helicobacter infection was successfully treated. I manage the condition with 40mg pantoprazole daily with Gaviscon as and when needed.

I have had 4 endoscopies to date and every time it comes back with mild chronic gastritis

I could go months without any major flare ups but when I do get flare ups it takes weeks to return to normality despite medication.

It's a long term illness so will require dietary and lifestyle changes. Eating spicy or deep fried food is now not an option for me. Infact I now realise how much unnecessary work I made my stomach do when I used to eat all the spicy food.

What are your medication for? If they are helping then why stop? Some people continue to have symptoms even after taking medication. So it's good that your body is responding to medication.

Have you been diagnosed after endoscopy?
