Gastritis

Posted by afrochic @afrochic, Mar 23, 2019

I stumbled on this site from so much googling on the digestive issues I've been suffering. Gastritis for 10 yrs now, on and off PPIs severally. Recurrent epigastric pain + nausea and bloating. Endoscopy 3 times. Last one done March 6 2019 and now diagnosed with severe intestinal metaplasia. It's been a dreary journey.

I have had Gerd, metaplasia and now autoimmune gastritis I too believe started with a thyroid medication I was taking. It's been 3 years, mostly better now however there are many foods and drinks I can not have. I take meds when I flare up and keep a very close eye on what enters my mouth and try to keep it from further damage. Good luck, keep up the good work...

Hi, may I ask which thyroid medication? As I also take one...

I take tirosint capsule and cytomel daily. Cytomel dissolves fast and the tirosint is “gel” so it is absorbed easily for my stomach issue. They are both more expensive than other meds I have tried but way easier on my stomach so I would rather pay more and no stomach stress.
