Dealing with Chronic Gastritis: Seeking Advice

When I first was diagnosed my doc told me to cut out everything acidic, including all bubbly and caffeine drinks. It helped a ton. I’m also vegan and have a LOT of allergies to foods and was lactose intolerant. Basically all the meds they wanted me to take have minimal dairy in the ‘‘em which would still make me sick, so the docs were no help. I’m thinking about trying to find a nutritionist next if I find someone to help me heal my gut, now that it’s been 3 years.

I would look into food tracking apps, not ones that are calorie tracking, but ones specifically for stomach/abdominal issues. I use an IBS tracker despite not having IBS, it helps track what you ate and if you had any bad reactions. As disgusting as it sounds, tracking your bowel movements might help as well. This can help you learn what foods are good for you and which ones cause bad reactions so you can avoid said foods. You can also start by eliminating foods, if that helps or doesn’t then you’ll have a much better idea on what to eat. It’s all different for everyone, my “trigger food” might not be yours.
