Gastritis improvement with injections

[siamesefrmsiam]

I am curious if those with gastritis have found it improved after injections. I had an endoscopy last year, after monthly injections were started, which showed moderate gastritis. This year, the endoscopy showed marked improvement, along with better bowel movements and less intestinal cramping. The only thing that has changed is going from monthly injections to weekly. My gastrologist is confused by the improvement. But wouldn't injections be healing me throughout my body and therefore wouldn't be a surprise?

Background: we are assuming I have pernicious anemia due to low B12, high antiparietal cell antibodies, and nerve damage. I have tested for intrinsic factor four times and all were negative, though all were done after treatment was started.

This is interesting, I've been self injecting for almost two years now, although there was no improvement seen when I had the camera down last year, it wasn't worse either. Your post gives me hope! I also take liquid zinc which is helping a lot with gastric symptoms, check out the medical studies on this it's impressive reading.

Yes, my doctor and myself were both surprised. I will look into zinc, thanks!

Hi,I have had the same response to injections. I also take 1000mg sublingual tablets daily.i don't know if they help but I don't want to go back to having awful gut symptoms so I try qnything! I also have smaller low carb meals and drink lime juice in water with my meal .all recommended by members of this forum . I had endoscopy which showed gastritis but IF negative. For me regular injections seem to have done the trick, hurray! I wish you well and a speedy recovery.

I haven't tried lime juice with meals yet, but I had noticed I started craving vinegar and pickles in my food. The body knows what it needs! I wish you a speedy recovery as well.
