Gastritis And Gerd

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Just looking for some answers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My gastritis started about 3 months ago when after binge eating for a couple of weeks I couldn't eat properly.
I felt full after small meals and was "deep" belching all the time. I went to the doctor who told me I had Gastritis. He put me on Prilosec and told me to take a h pylori blood test.

My results were 0.44 on a standard range of 0.00-0.99 for the h pylori antibody. He said the results were "normal". After I took Prilosec once a day in the morning for 6 weeks I began to eat normally. However, I developed Acid Reflux. I started to have acid come up my throat. I had acid come up when I was off the Prilosec and food come up when I was on Prilosec. I ended up having to change insurances and just went to my new doctor today. She said I should just keep taking the Prilosec.

So to sum it up, I'm not sure if I have h pylori. Is it okay for someone to have "some" h pylori in there body? Could h pylori cause acid reflux? Is my gastritis gone? Can this cause cancer? I'm just really confused and my doctor didn't try to explain much to me.

Ohh and I also suffer from schizoaffective disorder bipolar. So if I sound a little crazy forgive me...lol.

Hi Dense, thanks for the reply.

Yes, gastritis is awful. Sorry to hear about your gastritis problem. I only had it for a short time. I just get a little paranoid when it comes to stomach issues.

The range is normal. But I guess I just worry a lot.

Again thanks for the reply. I will hang in there.

Best of luck and Happy Holidays to you!
