Gastritis symptoms

I have celiac disease.  I am eating gluten free.  I am having problems with vomiting.  I had an endoscopy done and was told I have gastritis.  This was on 7/8/20 and I am barely eating and vomiting the majority of the time.  Otherwise I just get a very upset stomach.  The doctor gave me Sucralfate to take 4 times a day.  Every day is getting worse.  Any thing I put in my mouth/stomach, no matter the amount, I get so sick and usually vomit.  Even Ensure does it too.  

I am at my wits end.  Does anyone have any advise for me?

Thanks,

I am sorry that you are ill.   What was the source of your gastritis (like an ulcer, autoimmune gastritis or H.Pylori infection)?  
 

I have celiac disease.  Like you,  I had stomach (Gastric) issues.  My endoscopy/biopsies revealed a healed small intestine, but autoimmune gastritis.  

Is your celiac disease in remission?  I noticed you posted In May 2020.  You were diagnosed with celiac disease six years ago, but never went gluten free until your husband went into a nursing home.  I might be confused, but post today sounds like you had another endoscopy.  Was your small intestine better or still damaged?    You might just need to stay the course and make sure your food is really gluten free.  Time can heal.    Knitty Kitty’s advice is excellent.  

Trying to heal from both celiac disease and gastritis is difficult, but you can get better.

Welcome to the forum.  

It sounds like you're having a rough time!  

Celiac Disease damages the villi in your small intestine.  The tips of the villi produce an enzyme (lactase) that digests dairy.  Ensure has dairy in it.  You might want to exclude dairy from your diet for a while.  

You may find gluten free/dairy free soups and stews easier to digest.  Cook the meat and veggies until they are very tender. 

Try to stick with fresh meat and veggies, cooked at home.  Canned soups frequently have gluten as thickeners, so read labels.  Processed gluten free cookies and breads are better left until you're feeling better.

Stay hydrated.  Drink water. Skip the caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea, sodas). 

A call to your doctor to inform him of the vomiting is warranted.  Prolonged vomiting may be a symptom of certain vitamin deficiencies. 

Keep us posted on your progress!  Hope you feel better soon!

      I've been gluten free for 5 years, as well as being intolerant to gluten, my list of intolerances is growing.. from dairy, eggs, soya, yeast, to mushroom, garlic, onion, spinach and quite a few in-between, basically my diet is gluten-free cornflakes, rice, banana, almond milk and fish anything else causes bloating, severe abdominal pain, mucousy diarrhoea, lethargy, muscle and joint pain, kidney pain, headaches, and mouth ulcers. I've been told it's IBS, I think it's more than that... I've been sent to a gastroenterologist who tested for coeliac, if course it came back negative because, as I told him, I haven't eaten gluten for 5 years, he's asked me to eat gluten for 4 weeks and redo the blood test, so I've tried small amounts of crispbread for 3 days and am in agony, I can't do this for 4 weeks and then however long it'll take to recover. Has anyone got any suggestions, and is multiple food intolerances a common side effect of coeliac? I'm struggling! And struggling to be taken seriously 😒

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:
