Yes I've been taking carafate suspension for a few months now 3-4 x a day and it does help but it's still not healed yet. I realized how much it helps when I forgot to bring the bottle with me 1 week...
1 more thing...... Have you heard about when you have gastritis, you're not supposed to drink water with meals? You're supposed to leave a time of 20-30 min b4 and after meals of no water because it...
Yes, it was kind of by accident I came across the thing about protease cause I actually ordered this 1 enzyme supp that was rated #1 but then I looked into more info on if they help people with...
Hello Andy, thanks for the reply. As for the enzyme supplements, I read that us people with gastritis have to be careful when trying enzyme supplements because most of them have protease in them....

Hello dorri- so I guess chamomile or ginger tea doesn't feel good for you then hah? I drink those 2 teas every day, it soothes my stomach somewhat. The only thing that takes the pain away most of the...

James- sounds like you have a pretty bad case of it ah? They told me that mine is mild gastritis/esophagitis but, even mild hurts plenty! As for carrots, I can only eat them soft and cooked well or...
Thanks for the response, yes I agree with small portions for sure, I've found out the hard way several times that if you eat until you're full even a little, no matter what kind of food it is then it...
I do too! I even make it on the BBQ and I've not had probs from it. I just take the skin off b4 I eat it, no seasoning or lemon juice on it either just some fake butter and that's it. I googled if...

Haha yeah steak and wine sounds great, can't wait till I can do that again! I crave all the foods I can't eat now too, you know the old saying.... We want what we can't have lol! I actually like...
Yeah I'd have to learn how to meditate too, not sure how to do it. I know it's supposed to relax you. Prob would help. Wish I could have a few glasses of wine, you'll have to have a few for me haha....
Yes I drink chamomile tea as well mostly in evening cause it helps me unwind after driving all day, I'd like to try licorice tea but it's nowhere in stores here, maybe need to order it online. Yes...

Croft- if you go on either amazon.com or eBay and search pepzin gi it'll come up, same with the slippery elm. Pepzin gi has a combination of zinc and L-camosine in it. It's supposed to strengthen the...
