Gastritis?

I have been gluten free 8 mos., and feeling really great. I thought I was digesting Dairy fine again, but now I have had the worst heartburn for the last week. I also was drinking Coke everyday for about 2 mos. I quit...I know. Im not sure if I gave myself gastritis or what. I have belching, burning and pain all the way up my throat. :( Should I try a course of prilosec and see if that works? All I can eat (again) is white rice. Tagamet and slippery elm are not working. Pepto does but it constipates me. My bms are normal. What do you guys think? Help... thanks!

If you have dairy intolerance or allergy, it may continue to cause reflux. People don't get reflux because they have too much stomach acid, despite those ads for acid blockers. Do doctors ever MEASURE stomach acid before prescribing acid blockers? Reflux occurs when the lower esophageal valve opens unexpectedly. Several foods can irritate the LES and cause it to open. Those foods/beverages include caffeinated beverages, alcohol, peppermint teas and mints, tomato based foods, citrus fruits, onions and any food allergies or sensitivities. Rather than taking acid blockers which don't resolve the problem, consider what you ate before you experienced heart burn.

Many older people naturally produce less stomach acid. Too little stomach acid, rather than too much, will not produce the biochemical signal which keeps the LES closed, except when swallowing food. So abstaining from foods which cause heartburn, rather than inhibiting production of stomach acid, which we need to kill food born bacteria, as well as digest food, will resolve the heartburn problem, without causing more digestive problems.

If you already have heartburn, you can get quick relief by drinking enough cool (not iced) water to dilute the acid and wash it back into the stomach. You might also want to read "Why Stomach Acid is Good for You" by Jonathon Wright, MD, for more information about natural heartburn cures.

I agree with the PP. I only now get reflux and heartburn when I've eaten something I shouldn't. That's one of the problems I get when eating any grains. I really feel much better when I don't eat any.

I agree with what's been offered. My reflux pretty much went away when I stopped eating legumes.

A simple food log might be helpful to you for figuring out what the culprit is. :)

Thanks for the advice. I think I may have been glutened!! Now the pain has turned to painful Gas and D. Im having my classic twitching and muscle pain/fatigue, insomnia, too. I think it was generic cola or some chicken I ate at a wedding. <_< Any advice for dealing?? Just taking pepto and slippery elm. Thanks

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
