Gastritis is an inflamation of the stomac lining often caused by the bacteria helicobacter pylori. But your symptoms sound like you could be having gallbladder issues. My husband has acid reflux and does not have those symptoms. Could be gallbladder. Ask your Dr. if this could be causing your problem. Having a simple ultrasound of your gallbladder can tell you if that is the problem. Gastritis or gallbladder would be my guess at what is wrong. BUT, im not a Dr.!!!
Lactose intolerance can cause acid reflux, alternating bouts of constipation & diahorrea and will also lead to a compromised digestive system thus laying the groundwork for a body which is extremely susceptible to developing nose, throat, sinus, ear, bronchial, bladder and other infections as well……. Other symptoms you may be suffering from are mucous in the stools, bloating and cramping, digestive troubles such as constipation, belching and burping, gassiness and wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to say it), ribbony and stringy shaped bowel movements or rabbit pellet shaped movements are all symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Basically allergies to certain foods such as milk and dairy will produce all these symptoms because your digestive system has been compromised by it’s inability to digest that food ………. You need to pinpoint the culprit here and eliminate all dairy milk products for a couple of days and note how youthen feel …………. this includes foods such as milk, yoghurt, ice cream, cheese (although cheese is extremely low in lactose and you may still be able to tolerate it), cream etc.etc.etc.
please ensure that you take a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3 as they both rely on each other for effective absorption and increase your intake of non dairy calcium rich foods as calcium is essential for healthy bones, teeth and for heart health and also for a healthy digestive and neural system…………… do you also have problems with headaches and migraines, insomnia and irritability and moodiness and even achy bones ?? If so, this is because your calcium intake is being hindered by the lactose intolerance ♥
foods rich in calcium are ~ leafy and green vegies, sardines, salmon, tofu, nuts and seeds, peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds (ensure all nuts and seeds are organic to avoid pesticides, preservatives & sulfites which may disrupt effective digestion) kale, broccoli and collard greens.
fishes such as salmon and tuna are also rich in magnesium which is known as the antistress mineral and will increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy thus aiding in digestion and constipation………. they are also rich in vitamin D, which is essential for calcium absorption, and essential fatty acids which will nourish your hair skin and nails and do a fine job of levelling out any mood swings or stress you may have and also will bolster your immune system and help to lower blood pressure ….. goo the fish i say …….. ;0)
Also ensure that you are drinking loads of fresh filtered water on a daily basis as being a bit dehydrated would only further stress an already compromised system …………. ;0)
Antacids such as Omeoprazole & Gaviscon are only at best bandaiding the situation by temporarily resolving your symptoms ~ their main function is to alleviate the reflux by neutralising ALL the acid in your stomach, that’s a Bad thing because you need stomach acids such as hydrochloric acid to Digest your food ………. hence, the next time you eat your symptoms recurr because your stomach acids are diluted and useless and the source of the problem ……. Low Stomach Acid has not been addressed………. Increase your stomach’s production of hydrochloric acid by eating more foods rich in magnesium ie ~ leafy and green vegies, fresh cold water fishes such as tuna, sardines and salmon and by pinpointing foods to which you are allergic……. you really do need to try to resolve this problem from the source as acid reflux is NoT an ongoing problem if you deal with it at its root cause ie ~ effective digestion.
good health 2 you & yours
peace
