Answer: I got gastritis now yes its serious symptoms but this is how you tell the difference eat somthing greasy and spicy go lay down if ur in pain within min you got gastritis if you get sick after eating or thinking about food or if your heart burn is constant yes you got gas. ok being pregnant if your stomach feel fluttery and you just dont feel yourself and a little quezzy then i would ck to see if its pregnacy but you cant tell if your pregnant untill your a month which i guess you would be consdering your 3 days late you always get a cramping feeling before your period comes on so if your not feeling that i would be a little worried also if your period does not come in 4 more days your pregnant! unless you got irregular periods well quick stressing cuz that can change your periods too and if you didnt know your period changes around ery 6 months so u could be going through changes your period will not always be on the same day.

Question: What are some home remedies for gastritis? Can coconut water help with gastritis? Please inform me with all possible home remedies for gastritis.

Answer: Coconut water is an excellent remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach the necessary rest and provides vitamins and minerals. The stomach is greatly helped in returning to a normal condition if nothing but coconut water is given during the first twenty-four hours. Aloe Vera has been shown to be effective with digestive problems. Aloe Vera contains gibberlin and polysaccharides, which effectively decrease inflammation and promote healing. Aloe Vera is an effective pain reliever because it contains salicylic acid, the same pain killing agent found in aspirin. It also contains magnesium which helps prevent the damaging side effects of aspirin-type medications. Get a good quality Aloe Vera juice either online or at a health food store. Gastritis in many patients may also be helped by several amino acids given as supplements. The results of a scientific study, where dosages of cysteine at 200 mg’s was administered, 4 times a day to fifty-six people, who had bleeding gastritis brought on by the use of some NSAIDs- non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, like aspirin, looks promising as a potential treatment option. The recovery from and healing of the damage brought by gastritis may be possible through cysteine which is an essential amino acid that is rich in sulfur. Preliminary results from another study showed that 1 to 4 grams a derivative of N-acetyl cysteine if administered to individuals with the atrophic form of gastritis for a period of 4 weeks seemed to increase the rate of healing and recovery. The gastric cellular structure and the cells themselves depend partly on glutamine as a major source of energy; its other property may be an ability to increase the flow of blood to the area. The results of supplementing the diet of burn victims with the amino acid glutamine, showed that the development of stress ulcers was reduced, even after repeated operations and so this amino acid hold some promise as a possible treatment option. To what extent glutamine supplementation in cases of gastritis acts in preventing or in aiding the existing conditions of the disease remains unclear and is a largely speculative option. The protection of the stomach and an increased blood flow in the stomach has been suggested in evidence from preliminary research done on the possible utilization of the amino acid L-arginine as a treatment option; however the effects arginine has on people with gastritis remains to be investigated.

Question: Can canine gastritis be treated with raw organic honey? I have read that Manuka Honey is good for gastritis, but what about treating gastritis in my dog? She occasionally gets an upset stomach and vomits. I have taken her to the vet who diagnosed gastritis after doing x-rays and blood work. If this is okay, how much honey is appropriate and how should it be administered. My dog is a mini Dachshund and weighs 12 pounds. I have considered mixing it into some plain non-fat yogurt to also get the benefits of the live active yogurt cultures and the acidopholus.

Answer: I think it's great that you are seeking a therapeutic natural approach. Contact a holistic Vet in your area, they can counsel you and tailor a program for your specific pet. The yogurt is always good as well as cottage cheese.

Question: gastritis? I went to my doctor about a week ago since I've had many stomach problems dealing with too much stomach acid, etc. He gave me prilosec and said that I have gastritis. It's been working well so far but today I feel so sick like I did before I went on the medicine. My stomach is burning, i feel nauseous, I have hiccups, and I just feel really blah. Is there anything I can do to help my symptoms of gastritis?

Answer: I suggest all natural Optiflora and Alfalfa Complex. Optiflora is a two-product system which includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora). Guaranteed delivery of 500 million microflora to intestines. Alfalfa Complex: Alfalfa is the richest land grown source of trace minerals. The roots of this perennial plant burrow deep into the soil and absorb the important trace minerals. It increases one's alkaline reserves and helps to offset the enervating effect of fatigue acids. This alkaline from nature makes the use of anti-acid tablets for digestion unnecessary. Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Question: Foods that are okay to eat for ulcers and gastritis? I have ulcers and gastritis. I was diagnosed with gastritis when I was in 6th grade. Recently my ulcer and gastritis has gotten worse.

My question is are there any websites that have recipes and cooking ideas for people with ulcers and gastritis?

Question: Which foods are bad for gastritis? Is fried food such as Cutlet or any other food which are fried in oil in pans bad for Gastritis? I’ve had some of them and my gastritis was disturbed. (I’ve had this chronic illness for years). Oh, and why, digestion of apple is this much hard for our stomach. Whenever I have an apple, later I feel pinching in my stomach and it seems apple are disturbing my gastritis and also banana is doing so. I wonder banana is soft and not a hard fruit, but why does it really excite your Gastritis?

Answer: You should talk to your doctor before stopping any medicine or starting any gastritis treatment on your own. Also if its been years since you last spoken to them. I have stomach problems also and find that avoiding any fruit with seeds better off for my tummy as well as nuts and most cooking oils. If oils are required then I make sure it is olive or corn and very little are used, mainly a "baked" and/or "broil" diet makes my stomach happier. A big no-no is FRIED foods.

Question: Is it normal for gastritis to last months due to alcohol? 3 week ago I had a lot to drink. I normally do not drink that much. The next day I had stomach pains. Doctor diagnosed me with gastritis. I am to take Prilosec for the next 2 months. Has anyone else had this condition happen and how long did it last? Did you have any relapses afterward? Any advice for healing?

Answer: Gastritis is the term for any one of many diseases or conditions that cause an inflammation of the stomach lining, if it is sudden in onset, the condition is acute (this sounds like your case) if it is persistent, it is chronic. Acute cases can become chronic depending on the cause. Treatment by acid blockers is a standard. The condition can last for days or weeks, but depending on what you eat or drink, you can actually continue to irritate the area. Avoid greasy or overly spicy food, alcohol, coffee, or highly acidic foods, even with an acid blocker, these can still irritate. If your symptoms persist as long as a month or months, further diagnosis is in order as something besides just acid can be irritating the stomach, go back to your gastroenterologist.
