I've been experiencing certain symptoms that fall inline with Gastritis. Initially I thought it was the new meds I was put, which I guess still could be the cause. Asacol is on the list as a possible Gastritis causer as well as Prednisone which I am both on. Stress due to illness is another factor. Can anyone offer any insight?

What are your symptoms? I have gastritis and I keep it in check with Prilosec. I also have acid reflux which doesn't help.

Nausea, bloating, loss of appetite, vomiting, a nagging burning sensation and tenderness in my upper abdomen

I had gastritis when I had an h. pylori infection.

Sounds like what I had except I also had sharp shooting pains in my stomach. I never threw up but I felt extremely nauseas as well as having a painful lump like feeling in my chest area (in the esophagus).

I tend to throw up early in the morning after being in bed for a few hours. I'll wake up to use the toilet and come back to bed and I'll just have this really uneasy feeling in my stomach. I'll start to cough which quickly turns into gagging then I'll throw up stomach acid. It starts to burn my throat but it makes my stomach feel better and the burning in my throat eventually subsides. I still want to go back to sulfazine rather than the asacol. this is all started when I started the asacol about 6 days ago.

I noticed in another thread you mentioned you started on Prilosec. I just wanted to say that you should tell your doc about starting this. Typically a normal healthy person stays on it for about 2-4 weeks but if you think you have gastritis, you should at least call your doc to get the right length of time you should take this. I have been on Prilosec for about 3 years now. Do you take your Asacol with food? If not, try this and see if it helps with the pain. Also on a side note, if you call your doc and tell him that you started it, he might give you a prescription for the generic form and it's waaaay cheaper then OTC.
