Collagenous Gastritis – Searching for Answers May 9 6:53am | By Kanaaz Pereira, Connect Moderator (@kanaazpereira)Comment receiving replies
Hi Wendy2001, my 15 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Collagenous Gastritis. We are trying to mange it day by day, and for now, her only symptom is severe nausea in the mornings...and some mornings she throws up stomach acid right when she wakes up, and other mornings it's just the nausea. What is the GAPS diet? Right now it doesn't seem as if the steroids are working, and they also are having her take prilosec 2x/day. Thank God it's not in her colon at all, and it's so frustrating that no one seems to know a lot about it. I'm hoping you see my comment!! 🙂

There are a few nutrition paths to try. Paleo-autoimmune, SCD - Specific Carbohydrate Diet(used by many Crohn's patients) and GAPS. We did GAPS which was labor intensive for about two years. Now we are mostly Paleo-autoimmune. We cut out preservatives, food coloring, dairy and gluten - basically a very clean diet. Our kids can't process all of the additives in so much of our food.
