stomach inflammation gastritis

[Kimba2025]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with gastritis for a little while, and I wanted to check in with others who are going through similar symptoms to see if what I’m experiencing sounds normal.

Here’s what I’ve been dealing with:

• Very little heartburn — I don’t really have that burning sensation.

• Morning nausea — I often feel nauseous in the mornings, and sometimes randomly during the day.

• Burping a lot — It seems like I’m burping more than usual.

• “Pulling down” sensation in my stomach — It’s kind of a weird, heavy feeling that’s hard to describe, like something’s dragging in my upper stomach area.

• Pain in the upper stomach — A dull, constant ache.

• Bloating — My stomach feels bloated, especially after eating.

• Occasional loose stools — I’ve noticed I’ve been having looser stools in the morning.

A warm sensation that feels like it’s within my stomach almost like a hot water bottle is on the inside.

Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? How have you managed them?

I’m just trying to figure out if this is common for gastritis to make me and my health anxiety take a breath. Would love to hear from others who are going through the same thing.

Thanks so much!

hi sorry you are experiencing so many symptoms. I am assuming you have been diagnosed by your dr I have silent reflux and don’t feel the heartburn and was diagnosed with gastritis following an endoscopy. I had upper abdominal pain loose stools, occasional nausea, sore throat, debilitating cough caused by the reflux and felt really bad. Fortunately, my symptoms are under control with a combination of diet restrictions, no alcohol or caffeine and medication. I was on omeprazole 20mgs twice a day plus gaviscon advance after every meal and before I went to bed. It took at least 6months for a noticeable improvement and now I rarely take the medication although I still watch my diet. Has your dr prescribed any medication or advice? I wish you all the best.
