Gastritis

When does gastritis go away? I've had it forever it seems. I have a constant pain under my right rib, which by gi said that was my gastritis pain. I have non erosive, but I have been gluten free for at least 2 months now and still no relief. Sigh.

Not sure if this is helpful, but my LO has been gluten free for about 18 months and he still has really bad gastritis, it comes and goes - and now it is back!

I had gastritis for a while. I ate nothing but white rice with only a little butter, and bananas or banana smoothies for a time, as well as the occasional goat milk and I can say that definitely helped to alleviate my gut issues. You usually want to increase the mucus in the stomach to protect the lining, so goat milk definitely helps with that. Don't eat anything too meaty or fibery, and I would stick to the simplest, softest foods to digest in order to let the natural healing process take place.

This happened to me too when I started gluten-free diet.

The problem was I did not know how to avoid foods with "hidden" gluten. For example, I did not know soy sauce had gluten, so I would get gastritis every time I ate chinese food.

Also because I did not understand what was happening, I may have had hot sauce with the food, or coffee afterwards, and both hot sauce and coffee will make gastritis worst. If you think you ingeted gluten by mistake, do not have hot sauce or coffee for 12-24 hrs afterwards, you will get better faster.

Now I am getting better at knowing which foods may have hidden gluten, with experience and reading about gluten ingredients on the internet. But still once in a while I forget to ask the server in a restaurant and order something that I think is gluten free but ends up giving me gastritis.

I know it must be some hidden ingredient because I NEVER get gastritis from foods I cook myself at home or from a few restaurants that the servers know me and know I cannot eat gluten. Also a few restaurants have gluten free menus, that is your best option because they have procedures back in the kitchen to handle food ordered from gluten free menu in a way that is not contaminated with gluten.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
