Hello @bee2023 and welcome to Mayo Connect. As I read your post, I was wondering how you were diagnosed with this condition. Did you have an upper endoscopy or some other type of test? You were asking about what types of food to eat and whether or not this is curable. Is this something that you asked your GI doctor?

If you could share some of your symptoms, there may be others on Connect who could share their experiences. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Theresa, thank you so much for your response.

I had an upper endoscopy which was done. My Doctor told me the usual diet to stay away from spicy foods, carbonated drinks and foods that give gases. But when I googled I was told I need to eat soft foods, but I need to know what foods that can help correct my condition and to have conversations with people in a similar situation. The symptoms I have are loss of appetite, nausea, constipation, terrible gastritis, chest pains, heaviness in the chest sometimes, body aches, sick feeling, dizziness and bitterness in my mouth. Please don't hesitate to ask me anything else I really need help
