1st post/gastritis

I'm new here but not new to stomach issues. I'm currently going through a terrible bout of gastritis.

The nausea is just awful! I've tried everything and nothing seems to help. I'm hoping someone will share their way of getting rid of the nausea.

I had an endoscopy this past September. I have a stomach full of ulcers. Doc put me on Protonix and that helped me for a few months then gastritis flared up again 2 weeks ago.

I stopped taking the PPI due to osteoporosis but now I'm back on it. I changed to Zegerid as Protonix didn't seem to work anymore.

Diet is not a problem as I know what to eat and what not to eat but it seems this time anything I do eat kills me!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andy, Thanks for replying.

I forgot to mention I also have a hiatus hernia!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well - I understand.

My diet is very bland. White rice, potatoes, grits, chicken, etc. No fat of any kind right now as I'm really having it rough and no spice, seasoning of any kind. I eat a bit of slice peaches, a bite or two of an apple and hardly any veggies as they are really rough on my stomach. I really bloat when I eat them.

I would think cabbage juice would cause bloating. When I feel my stomach becoming distended, I take 2 GasX pills and that seems to help the discomfort some.

I've tried the licorce in the past to no avail. I haven't tried the slippery elm though.

Thanks for the reply.
