H Pylori gone but Gastritis getting worse
Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2023 6:43 pm
Hi, thank you for this forum I wish I found it sooner.
H Pylori infection started after an epigastric hernia repair op but wasn't diagnosed for a few months later. Anyway after two lots of triple treatments in Sept 22 and Oct 22 and losing 13kg I didnt have to spare and feeling dreadful an endoscopy in March 23 showed I'm clear of H Pylori. I was diagnosed with mild antral gastritis however I've started gagging in the mornings again and feeling a warm/hot inside my chest but I've no heartburn or reflux. I'm on no medication since January and can't get a GP for 3 weeks (in Ireland). Heavy Nausea has been a big problem all along and is still here too. My ferritin was too low so ive to take iron supplements but I think they are making me sick and I have read that h pylori like Iron and use it to multiply so Im worried about that now. I'm taking manuka honey, slippery elm to try help. Any pointers. Thank you
