Gastritis flare ups?

[RainyDayMarisa]

I have been diagnosed for 21 years now and on 3 monthly B12 injections.

Recently I had to have a gastroscopy which revealed the chronic gastritis that PA sufferers have, It seems to have flared up badly recently and I am really struggling with all sorts of gastric symptoms.

Does anyone else get this?

Any solutions?

Thanks for reading

What does the gastroenterologist say? Do you take lots of pain killers? NSAIDs are notorious for causing gastritis.

I was prescribed Omeprazole in Feb when I had a laparotomy and was on strong antibiotics. I have continued to take it but reading around Omeprazole it can bring on hypergastrinemia which is exactly what PA sufferers have so I can't imagine what it is doing to my stomach.

I haven't been to a gastroentorlogist since I last had a gastroscopy in December but they always seem very dismissive of chronic gastritis when they find it.

Yes I get flare ups.

One of the side effects Type A gastritis sufferers have is low stomach acid and if you look at those symptoms you’ll see they are not pleasant. You can help with cider vinegar and various other remedies.
