Gastritis Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment
Gastritis is a condition that describes the inflammation of the stomach lining. Gastritis can be caused by a variety of things, including infection, injury, or autoimmune disease. Symptoms of gastritis include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, indigestion, and bloating. Treatment for gastritis depends on the underlying cause; however, antacids and other stomach-lining protectants are often used to help relieve symptoms. If you think you may have gastritis, it's important to see your doctor so that an accurate diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment can be started.

The diagnosis of gastrointestinal conditions, such as gastritis, typically involves a comprehensive approach that combines medical history assessment, physical examinations, and a variety of tests. Here's an in-depth examination of the diagnostic process:
Medical History: Your healthcare provider will inquire about your symptoms, their duration, and any potential triggers or risk factors. These may include alcohol consumption, medication usage, or a family history of gastrointestinal issues.
Physical Examination: A physical assessment can reveal signs of gastritis, such as abdominal pain.
Endoscopy: This procedure entails the insertion of a slender, flexible tube equipped with a camera (endoscope) into the stomach to visually inspect the lining. It enables the identification of inflammation, ulcers, or any other irregularities.
Blood Tests: Blood examinations can detect specific markers, such as H. pylori antibodies or other indicators of inflammation, which aid in the diagnosis of gastritis.
Imaging Studies: In certain cases, imaging methods like X-rays or CT scans might be employed to evaluate the extent of stomach lining damage.
Once a diagnosis is established, the treatment approaches vary depending on the specific condition and its severity:
• Gastritis: Treatment for gastritis may encompass lifestyle adjustments, such as abstaining from alcohol and NSAIDs, coupled with medications to reduce stomach acid, manage symptoms, and address H. pylori infection if present.
• GERD: Managing GERD typically entails dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and medications to control acid reflux.
• Peptic Ulcers: Treating peptic ulcers can involve antibiotics to eliminate H. pylori, medications to reduce stomach acid, and lifestyle alterations.
• IBS: The management of IBS focuses on symptom control, dietary adjustments, stress reduction, and occasionally, the use of medications to alleviate specific symptoms.
• IBD: In cases of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, medications are often required to manage inflammation and, in severe instances, surgical intervention may be necessary.
• Celiac Disease: The primary therapy for celiac disease involves adhering to a strict gluten-free diet. Avoiding gluten-containing foods can lead to symptom resolution and the healing of the intestinal lining.
You can undergo a quick and accurate diagnosis and get a customized treatment plan based on your gastric problems from Dr. Amit Maydeo, who is the best gastroenterologist in the country and is currently working at H N Reliance Hospital in Mumbai.

It's Gastroparesis Awareness Month
Hi! I have gastroparesis and I'm an insufferable know-it-all so let's talk about it!
Gastroparesis, or a paralyzed stomach, is a condition that causes delayed gastric emptying.
This can cause a range of symptoms and complications:
nausea
vomiting
early satiety/fullness
upper gastric pain
heartburn
malabsorption
dehydration
malnutrition
Gastroparesis can be treated by a gastroenterologist, but often needs to be managed by a motility specialist due to a lot of misconceptions about the condition. Providers, especially in the emergency department, will commonly misdiagnose gastroparesis as cannabis-hyperemesis syndome, cyclic vomiting syndrome, gastritis, food poisoning, etc.
There are several commonly known causes of gastroparesis like vagus nerve damage from diabetes, injury to the stomach, and stomach surgery like hernia repair or bariatric surgery. There are also idiopathic cases with no known cause. Other causes of gastroparesis are:
Connective tissue disorders like HSD and EDS (commonly hEDS and cEDS)
Post-viral (like COVID, viral gastritis, mononucleosis/Epstein-Barr)
Restrictive eating disorders
Autoimmune diseases like Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Lupus, Hashimoto's
Central nervous system disorders
Gastroparesis also has common comorbidities with conditions like:
POTS and other forms of dysautonomia (POTS, EDS, and gastroparesis are a common triad of diagnoses)
MCAS
SMAS (which can also present with similar symptoms to GP)
Intestinal dysmotility and esophageal dysmotility disorders (known as global dysmotility)
PCOS with insulin resistance
Endometriosis
SIBO/SIFO
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
Migraines
Certain medications like Ozempic and other drugs in that class act on the digestive system to delay gastric emptying, which has caused people to be diagnosed with gastroparesis. Some people report that their cases have not gone away since stopping the medication, others report feeling better after stopping. Other drugs like opiates and narcotics can cause delayed gastric and intestinal motility as well, but these are commonly known side effects of those painkiller classes.
Gastroparesis is classed based on severity and graded based on how you respond to treatment.
Severity of delay ranges from mild to very severe, and this is based on your actual stomach retention calculated at 4 hours into a gastric emptying study.
The grading scale ranges from one to three, one being mild and three being gastric failure.
There is no consistent single treatment that is proven to work for gastroparesis, and there is no cure. Treatments can consist of:
Diet changes (3 Step Gastroparesis Diet, liquid diet, oral sole source nutrition)
Prokinetic (motility stimulating) drugs
Anti-nausea medications
Proton-pump inhibitors
Gastric stimulator/gastric pacemaker
Pyloric botox and dilation
G-POEM/pyloroplasty
Post-pyloric tube feeding
Gastric venting/draining
Parenteral nutrition
IV fluids
Other surgical interventions like gastrectomy or rarely, transplant
Gastroparesis is a terrible disease and I hope that if any of these symptoms resonate with you that you can get checked out. I was misdiagnosed for a long time before getting a proper gastroparesis diagnosis, and all it took was a gastric emptying study. This is ESPECIALLY true if you're having post-COVID gastrointestinal problems that are not improving. I almost died from starvation ketoacidosis because of how serious my GP got in a short period of time post-COVID (I had GP before COVID), and now I'm tube reliant for all my nutrition and hydration.
Stay safe friends!

Just want to say, once again, the BIGGEST fucking thank you to the people who were kind enough to donate to my cat’s emergency vet visit this last weekend. You guys are beyond BEYOND kind and you don’t even know the weight it took off of my soul to know that I still had the money to take him in for… the third visit… on Tuesday…
ANYWAY. Artistic recreation of my baby “hiding” from the vet
His current diagnosis (drumroll please) iiiiiis… IBS. My fucking cat has IBS. Which I really should’ve expected because his sister has gastritis.
SO ANYWAY. Fitz now has FOUR medicines he’s getting twice a day for the next month (anti nausea, probiotic, antibiotic, steroid), and then a life of steroids but that’s FINE. Because he is DOING WELL (cross your FUCKING FINGERS) and HAPPY AND YELLING AT ME TO GET FED AGAIN AND THAT’S ALL I CARE ABOUT.
Picture of his confident strut around the vet’s office before the vet actually came in:
So. Fucking thank you THANK YOU. I cannot thank you guys enough. And for everyone who just wished him well. Seriously I don’t deserve yall.
So here’s a Louis for u, as my very small gift of appreciation:

no one ever told me why I was supposed to take my strong NSAIDs with food, so I'm telling you all now:
It's because they can cause gastritis, an irritation of the stomach lining.
Gastritis can cause stomach pain, nausea/vomiting, chest pain, loss of appetite, etc. I used to take them all the time on an empty stomach because I thought it wasn't doing anything, but oh boy was it doing something. Mainly, it was causing me nausea and stomach pain, which I attributed to my chronic illness. I ended up getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy because I was in pain and not getting better and the doctors noted that my stomach lining was visibly inflamed. This is normally seen in heavy smokers and drinkers or in a viral stomach infection, but since I don't smoke or drink and tested negative for a viral issue, it was almost definitely my incorrect use of NSAIDs. Gastritis can take a while to heal so learn from my experience and start taking your NSAIDs with food now, rather than after you've already developed it. It doesn't have to be much food, I've even seen sources say that a glass of milk is enough, just a little snack when you take your meds so your stomach isn't completely empty.

Another imagine with my character.
He's a pale, tall and thin student with hollow, sunken stomach, sharp cheekbones and big sad blue eyes — every trait that Tim Burton would love to see in his character. Even his name suitable for some melancholy gothic novel: Victor. A sweet-natured, shy young man with blond hair and a small amount of acne on his face, always dressed in elegant black clothes and diligently studying philosophy at a liberal arts university, he is good at everything — except, perhaps, providing for his own needs. Victor often forgets to eat while studying hard, and if he does, he resorts to food that is completely unsuitable for a person with high acidity in the stomach and gastritis... It is hardly necessary to say that his stomach often rumbles in lectures.
Sometimes these sounds are prolonged and most of all resemble a long moan from the depths of his body. Victor blushes — being a pale blond, it's easy for him to blush —and tries to squeeze into a chair so that no one notices him. His stomach, however, continues to moan under his ribs, painfully contracting. He feels nausea from hunger begin to boil in his stomach, as acid rises through his esophagus — and if it is stuffy enough in the audience, he may even vomit a small amount of bile. For such excesses, Victor carries a vomit bag with him — but the feeling of overwhelming shame does not leave him even after he eats after the lecture.
Other times, when he eats, but eats what he cannot, he first begins to have an intense rumbling in his stomach, trying to digest a large amount of heavy food, and then the sounds move to the lower part of his gastrointestinal tract, and then it looks more like a gurgling... Victor swears under his breath, curses his irresponsibility and swallows a belch, nervously massaging his slightly swollen and disgustingly resting against the belt stomach. After such meals, he usually does not want to eat for several more days because of the negative experience.
Ah, this boy definitely needs someone to guide him in matters of nutrition.

astro health notes pt.2
Cancer: Nurturing Instincts and Emotional Health
Ruling Anatomy: Cancer governs the breasts, diaphragm, womb, lymphatic system, vagina, stomach, and right eye. It embodies nurturing, motherhood, and the Moon principle, associated with substance change but lacking vitality.
Health Connections: Possibility that Cancerians might encounter weight gain in later years due to their fondness for food. Emotional stress, anxiety, and tension often cause digestive problems such as ulcers, gastritis, and digestive upsets. They might struggle with gall bladder issues, nausea, and gas pains, while also being susceptible to overindulgence in alcohol.
Characteristics: Cancer individuals exhibit a nurturing nature akin to motherhood. Their susceptibility to digestive issues and emotional stress underscores the impact of their emotional state on physical health.
Challenges: Afflicted Cancerians may suffer from dropsy, indigestion, and sclerosis. Symptoms such as dizziness, syncope, and watery or congested nose and sinuses can manifest, reflecting the sign's vulnerabilities.
Leo: Vital Energy and Robust Constitution
Ruling Anatomy: Leo rules over the heart, circulation, blood pressure, spine, back, and left eye. It symbolizes vital energy, creativity, and power associated with the Sun principle.
Health Connections: Leos boast robust constitutions, often excelling in physical activities like dancing and sports. However, overexertion might cause strain, especially in their upper back. They might experience heart-related issues, like pains and pressure, and are advised to slow down in later years to prevent potential heart attacks.
Distinctive Traits: Leo ascendants are identifiable by their voluminous hair, regal posture, and tall stature. Their physicality exudes strength and royalty, marked by their golden undertone and bright, bold presence.
Challenges: Leo individuals can suffer from tension in neck and shoulders, headaches, nosebleeds, and visual disturbances due to aggravated heat and choler. Conditions such as apoplexy, convulsions, and syncope can arise from severe heat imbalances.
Virgo: Selective Process and Health Concerns
Ruling Anatomy: Virgo governs the digestive system, pancreas, small intestines, eyes, and ears. It symbolizes selection, utilization, and nervous temperament.
Health Connections: Virgos tend to worry themselves sick, turning emotional troubles into physical ailments, especially intestinal issues like indigestion, colitis, ulcers, and bowel problems. Their fussy digestive systems and hypochondriac tendencies often lead to digestive discomfort and nervous system complications.
Characteristics: Virgo ascendants possess delicate features with clear, bright eyes and a tendency for a "resting b*tch face." They often have lean muscles and are sensitive to energies around them.
Challenges: Melancholic disorders like neurasthenia and cerebrovascular issues may afflict Virgo individuals. Their sensitive digestive systems and nervous temperament can cause chronic stress, insomnia, tremors, and digestive disorders.

Maisie's recovery update:
Regarding the bladder surgery, she's recovering really well. Stitches healed nicely. We still have to do an ultrasound somewhat soon to see how things are healing on the inside, and that's mostly it.
HOWEVER, there of course had to be other complications. She first got a somewhat bad ear infection that is now under control, and then when the ears seemed to be doing better, she started throwing up.
She was throwing up every 30 min - 2 hours Friday night - Sunday morning, so we went to the emergency vet on Sunday asap.
She got an IV, antibiotic, glucose, and anti nausea meds, so she stopped throwing up, but she was still very obviously sick and nauseous. Refused food (and still mostly is) and barely moved. I have never seen her in such a horrible state tbh, it was and kinda still is pretty scary. She's feeling a tiny bit better today, licked some PB, and had a tiny piece of salami, so she's starting to get her appetite back. Fortunately she has't been refusing water for long, so at the very least she'll take some sips out of my hands.
Going to the vet today again for a check up. Hopefully, she keeps improving and that will be the end of it.
Oh, the general diagnosis is gastritis and it most likely happened bc her urinary vet diet food was irritating her stomach a little bit (she's been eating grass more often ever since she was put on this food, but it's the best one so far for her) + she gulped down a dog ice cream in basically one bite on Thursday, so that was probably the last straw for her.
Moral of the story, do Not let your dogs eat ice cream quickly, I guess.
Well, the vet said it could also be a stomach flu-like virus, but the ice cream sure didn't help.
Soo yeah, the past week has been a Ride.

Day 156
Hi guys! Guess I'm back!
I'm really sorry for disappearing for so long, a lot happened and I'm still recovering. (I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance, probably 'nervous' gastritis, and I'm still having nausea and eating problems). Anyways, I am recovering and better than before.
I still need to caught up with the manga, but I'll try to post daily, like before.
(i also got obsessed with Heaven Official's Blessing... just saying... it's really good...)

rant in tags about perscription medication and withdrawals
continued here bc i reached tag limit and i'm still??
it's kinda scary tbh
like i was scared for years now of what would happen off my meds and
when i tried tapering off my antidepressants oof i was breaking down every day and now i /know/ i'm dependant on them and idk if that's better or worse
and with the antipsychotics it's like i thought they were helping my depression too bc when tapering off i was also so panicked and depressed (tho my situation is kinda stressful rn)
but idk i've been trying meds on and off for half my life now and most of the time i'm like 🤷
but the truth is
it's fucking scary how it messes with your body
it's fucking scary when you're dependant on a pill
OR ALSO
when pills fuck your body up to the point you can only eat one thing
bc that's the reason i'm going off the antipsychotics and guess what, i'm able to eat more again now
idk if it's just in combination with the hormon pill tbh i'm just going off both now and we'll see how my iron levels and migrains deal lmao
i feel like i can't think straight anymore
gonna have to get new docs anyway so we'll see what they say if(/when) i go anemic again or if going off the antipsychotics will actually fix the issue??
if so, then it'll be like how did this sneak up on me, i've been taking them for 2.5 years like
??
and now i've lost 20lbs despite trying everything to maintain or gain some the past year and a half and i'm at my lowest weight since i was like a preteen lol
and that's all bc of a med that didn't feel like it had an acute effect
or maybe i'm so removed from my body i didn't notice until i got the acute gastritis ??
i mean i can't even be sure its the meds or not until i'm off
and tapering the rest off is gonna be so fun fuck
i dont wanna
i wanna be able to eat more than bread i guess but at this point the thought just scares me and like i associate it with pain and nausea
which as long as i can manage it is fine
but i've only tapered off half, i still have to taper off the other half of the dosage 😭
and with the hormon pill gone again the worst menstrual pain will be back and idk how to manage that, i guess hopefully with the meds gone i won't go anemic again but who knows at this point??
also praying my migraines don't come back but uh... i am pessimistic. i don't have much hope
anyway
moral of the story.....
ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO TAPER OFF YOUR MEDS KIDS BC EVEN JUST TAPERING IS SCARY AND GOING COLD CHICKEN IS PROBABLY HELL
doctors can be annoying (and make things harder, like in my case bc i literally asked if it could be my current meds MONTHS ago, and everyone was like noooooo but guess who was RIGHT) sometimes BUUUUT you should listen to them avout certain things
like
tapering off meds
#it's insane how strong meds can affect you#everyone was telling me “oh that's a strong one” and giving me concerned looks#and i was just like *shrugs*#bc i didn't notice a daily change whatsoever#beside the fact that i slept a bit better#less dreams#and like sleeping more than 5h on average#and well no debilitating migraines where i can't move#but like#no side effects#no making me feel numb or drowsy or anything#but tapering off of them???#the withdrawals???#OH MY FUCKING GOD#i feel like o'm crazy#and it stopped so abruptly#i'm like??? is it- was i sick? was it smth else?#it is the stress maybe#but no exacctly at the same time i now am back to not sleeping and the dreams are back#like those withdrawals#jfc#i felt basically bed ridden for a week#it's a wonder i only cried myself to sleep 1 singular time#tho that's probably the added stress#but like fucking hell#i was so sleepy and weak and couldn't even use my phone it was too much???#and suddenly like clock struck 12 yesterday and i've been alert evver since#my sleeping pattern from before the meds is back#i'm still weak bc i can't eat like normal but i am eating a bit more#ignore me

Note
do you have any odd symptoms of covid?
Some could probably be considered odd.
My voice turned very deep and rough due to the coughing and mucus in my throat, and I sounded like the dragon from The Hobbit for a few days. Although @consultjohnwatson found that quite amusing and kept making voice recordings while I was spitting and threatening like a fire breathing reptile. My temperature for sure made me feel as if I could breathe fire.
On a less amusing note, I now got stomach issues and nausea, probably a gastritis, due to the medication and the stress of the disease and fast.
My nose was completely blocked and congested for a few days, and no matter how long I blew my nose it just wouldn't stop, with results of various shades of colours including bright neon yellow to orange (probably a popped blood vessel). I was very light sensitive as well and no don't mention the vampire thing again.
Also suffered from headaches and melalgia, which still sometimes occur now as well as exhaustion. I still don't operate at optimal capacity yet, but it's much better.
