Gastritis and Prilosec question!!!!!! Please HELP!?
I am 22 and female. After 2 months of random stomach problems (pain, nausea with no vomitting, etc.) I was recently (2 weeks ago) diagnosed with Gastritis via Upper GI endoscopy (results are still out if it is caused by H. Pylori bacteria). I was put on Prilosec (20 mg) daily. I have completed 2 weeks of it already, and I DON’T FEEL BETTER. I still have “attacks” of the gnawing stomach pain that keep me laid up for a day or so. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice? Should it be taking this long?And before you suggest it, I have already changed my diet to cut out all caffeine, coffee, tea, soda, fatty or fried foods, sugary foods, and acidic (tomatoes, etc) foods. And I get a good amount of exercise.Also, I am open to the fact it might be stress-induced, what do you do for that (and don’t say cheap breathing techniques, I need something better than that.)THANKS!And for the 100th time, I am POSITIVE I’m not pregnant.

The most common food allergies are dairy and gluten (wheat). Ask your doctor to test you for lactose intolerance, and try eliminating these from your diet for a few days to see if it helps. Wheat is in almost everything that is in a package…avoid foods that are packaged, esp with labels that have lots of ingredients on them.Daisy
