I have both and ulcers which I was put on a PPI to heal them. Strict low acid diet with no soda or booze. I get scoped again in April 2024.

Have you tried green tea? Not a cure all but very beneficial. Also have you reviewed all your medications? Some medications really aggravate gastritis due to additives in certain supplements. One example...Additives in Levothyroxine(Unithroid)ruined me so I had to change it.

You don't say if you've been to a doctor yet. If not, then go.
What I thought was gastritis was actually from my gallbladder. They took it out, and, voila, I was cured of gastritis (unless I make really bad food choices.).

Mia,
I am dealing with Chronic Hemmorhagic Gastritis (diagnosed last year by Gastroenterologist). I was on PPIs for 8 months and felt great until I started having side effects from the meds. I stopped the PPIs a few months ago and am determined to manage this without medication. I started out just trying to do "gastritis friendly" foods but still terrible pain a few times a week. I decided to start working with a registered dietician to see if I have food intolerances that may have contributed to the gastritis. So far, pretty good results with a low histamine diet! It is exciting to have progress in between the depressing days. Completely changing my diet is not easy or fun. I understand the anxiety part!! Last night we took our daughters to eat and I had carefully chosen what I would order, but something I had eaten that afternoon was already bothering me so I was uncomfortable and anxious during dinner. Ugh. So frustrating and demoralizing to try so hard and still get symptoms.

I am glad to see your post! I joined this a few weeks ago and this is the first gastritis thread I have seen. It is nice to know I am not the only one going through this. Sending empathy and encouragement your way 💜

I've dealt with Gerd/acid reflux for years.
Most everyone has had the flowing advice:
Elevate the head of your bed 6 to 8 Degrees
Eat early, often. and small meals
Stay up three hour before retiring
Try "Reflux Gourmet" at ight after meals as recommended by my ENT.

Best

Reflux Gourmet is a thick liquid to be taken as directed by your doctor. I take a teaspoonful after dinner. It has relieved symptoms.
It has a chocolate caramel flavor.
