I had to look AMAG up. .. autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis. A new one for me.

I had a feeding tube, but it was not because of this condition. It appears from reading that you should have one.

All I can tell you is talk with your doctors about it… ask why not? Get opinions from other doctors.

Hi, it is much easier to just say AMAG! lol I actually have no good cells left in my stomach. Between that and the Gastroparesis, eating and getting nutrition seems impossible. My husband and I have been begging the docs but they keep throwing antidepressants at me, which make me want to eat less. Mayo docs, and I have a few, they are arguing as to what to do and nobody is listening to the other. I am caught in the middle and drugged up on these meds that make me feel like a vegetable when all I need is some nutrition. I am looking elsewhere but taking forever to get in.
From what others tell me, they really had no issues getting what they needed. I been trying to figure out how they got the tube and what made the docs decide. TY for replying 🙂 Take care!
