Atrophic gastritis, come in those who have encountered it

Diet and rest.

I have this kind of gastritis. At first, I panicked, then I stopped worrying about it. You can live your whole life with this gastritis and die from another illness, but cancer is also possible. My doctor told me the probability is like with a mole—any mole can turn into cancer, but most don’t. So, diet, no stress, treat flare-ups. Get a gastroscopy every year. And definitely strengthen your immune system, because it determines whether the atrophy will turn into cancer or your body will overcome it. And find a good gastroenterologist—they are now your main doctor. I also heard that with this kind of gastritis, you should avoid tea, both black and green, as they accelerate atrophy.

You might want to consult with a phytotherapist, Dr. Polyakova L.P., regarding atrophic gastritis. My friend from Moscow achieved quite good results after a month of treatment with her. Naturally, this doctor takes a systematic and comprehensive approach, prescribing diets like a professional nutritionist, though I understand her main specialty lies in her unique herbal blends.

I've had this diagnosis for many years. I don't react well to coffee, but since I love it so much, I only drink it weak and with milk. My diet is normal, just not overeating. There can be issues with acidity, so I sometimes drink Essentuki No. 4—it's important that it's only No. 4, as it's universal. Thanks for the tip about tea here, I didn't know that, although I also drink it weak.

YES I'VE HEARD ABOUT POLYAKOVA - THE REVIEWS ARE VERY GOOD, EVEN ECSTATIC ONES WERE THERE

How do I find this doctor?

What's your diet like? For me, this is a new condition—even with high-grade atrophy, I didn't notice anything until recently when I went for a gastroscopy. The doctor said I'll have to take pantoprazole for life.

Have you cured atrophic gastritis? If not, perhaps my experience can help you. Don’t believe people who say that atrophy cannot be treated. The stomach can restore its mucous membrane on its own—otherwise, stomach ulcers would never heal. The only thing you need to do is eliminate the cause of the atrophy. Did you take Omeprazole or other acid-suppressing medications before you were diagnosed with atrophic gastritis? If so, Omeprazole is the cause of your atrophy. You need to stop all medications and switch to treatment with bitter herbs and plantain. But even if you do nothing, the stomach lining will still recover, provided you don’t take any medications. It’s also important to consider that regeneration in the stomach happens very slowly. For example, I’ve been restoring my stomach for four years now. But it all depends on the extent of the atrophy, so the timeline varies for everyone.

Hello, what diet is recommended for atrophic gastritis? And how long should the diet be followed?

Can you tell me which bitter herbs you use for treatment?

Wow, 4 years. So, I assume the diet is for life?

Do you also have atrophic gastritis? What do your doctors say?

Didn't your doctor tell you? Diet number 1. And you probably need to follow it for life.

What does high-grade mean?

Damn it! It's like you immediately crave all the worst stuff. I break down several times a week. I hold out, hold out, and then BAM! Goodbye diet. Then I regret it. Where can I get some willpower?

I was diagnosed with this condition at 21. I had an endoscopy—it was terrifying, I almost died. Since then, I’ve been afraid to go to doctors. I’ve had occasional pain. I took De-Nol and it helped. Now I have dull stomach pain, issues with bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. I’ve lost weight—I was on a protein diet over the summer, but I’m still losing weight now. No nausea or vomiting. I haven’t been to a doctor in 8 years; I’m scared of the probe. But so far, thank God, I’m alive and working.

I was diagnosed with severe grade 3 gastritis, and I read online that this is atrophic gastritis. Hyperplasia of the foveolar and glandular epithelium. The doctors said that it is essential to get rid of Helicobacter pylori, and the inflammation will gradually subside.

Anna, get a gastroscopy under anesthesia. I did it. Fell asleep, woke up. Like nothing even happened. I also got diagnosed with atrophic gastritis (((

Very, very strict diet!!!

I am 15 years old. I was diagnosed with this in 2015. The only thing to do is eat right and treat other health issues!!! Everything is interconnected.

I was also really scared of the FGD, did it while asleep. That's the solution for me!

I was also diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori infection. They prescribed treatment, I went online, read up on it, and almost went crazy. I've come to my own conclusions: get checked every six months for the infection and have an endoscopy. And, damn it, I'll cure this Helicobacter.

I have the same diagnosis as well. I've been undergoing treatment for two years, but the symptoms haven't gone away—things like a coated tongue, acid reflux, etc. If you know how to recover, please write about it.

[quote="Ema" message_id="70288646"]I have the same diagnosis. I've been undergoing treatment for two years, but the symptoms aren't going away—the coating on the tongue, acidity, etc. If you know how to get cured, please write. Focal atrophic gastritis. Has anyone recovered from it?

Does anyone else have it radiating to their back?

My back too, and my neck (throat) hurts as well.

Oh, yeah! There's always something wrong with my throat! At first it was just chronic tonsillitis, but now 1-2 little blisters pop up on one side of my mouth (always the right side), then they go away quickly. I've seen all the doctors—some said it's a cyst, others said it's herpes, and others say it's due to my stomach. Has anyone else had this? Also, facial redness appeared—I notice it's worse during flare-ups... they said it's an autoimmune process. I took pills for 20 years—now I realize they were probably finishing me off...(((

I have focal atrophic gastritis. It was diagnosed during an endoscopy, but they didn't take a biopsy, even though the gastroenterologist said they should have. I've been suffering for 2 months. I was prescribed De-Nol. I took it for a month, but there's no improvement. I don't know what to do. For now, I'm trying to find good specialists online. Symptoms: burning in the stomach after eating, poor appetite, nausea, low energy, depression. Anyone familiar with this? Is there any way to improve my condition?

You need to get a biopsy from 5 different points—then it will be clear if you have atrophy or not and what type it is, because it can vary, and this is key since such a diagnosis isn't made without a biopsy! Check for H. pylori, and if it's present, eradicate it since it could be the cause. Otherwise, there's no real treatment beyond that... herbs, plantaglucide, diet, etc. Basically supportive therapy. Personally, I have constant issues with stool, bloating; strangely, my stomach doesn't hurt, but atrophy was found accidentally on a biopsy—before that, everything was examined: pancreas, liver, intestines... nothing was found. So I'm considering eradicating H. pylori; it was found but in small amounts.

Good afternoon. A year ago, during an endoscopy, focal atrophy was found in the antrum of my stomach. At first, I went to several doctors, but none of them told me anything specific. They said there was nothing serious, even though I was experiencing discomfort like heaviness in the abdomen, bloating, irregular bowel movements, and pain after eating. I also had depression. My tongue felt as if it had been scalded by hot tea, with a white coating. My treatment consists of taking medications only during flare-ups: Trimebutine, Maxilac, Hilak Forte, and Pantaglucin. Additionally, due to diffuse changes in my pancreas, I also take Pangrol during these periods. But all of this is only during exacerbations. Right now, I’m having a flare-up and am on a diet of soups, porridge, and steamed meatballs, waiting for it to pass. A year has gone by, and I haven’t gone for another endoscopy—I’m too scared. And I don’t go to doctors anymore.

Dear friends, my sister has the same diagnosis, she has pain, depression, we've read up on how it's a precancerous condition, we don't know how to cure it, we've probably tried all methods, what to do, please advise. We'd be grateful.

Thank you for your positivity, it's so necessary for those who want to get better. Could you recommend which herbs can be used to relieve pain? Thanks in advance.

Hello. I've had the same diagnosis for a year now, also read up a lot and cried a lot. Still haven't cured it, I periodically take Trimebutine and Maxilac. Need to calm down and move on with what I have.

Same here. 4 days ago I had an endoscopy at a private clinic. They didn't do a biopsy. Wrote that the gastric mucosa is mottled due to focal atrophy, plus linear erosions. All symptoms like yours. They prescribed me Nolpaza to heal the erosions. About the atrophic part, the gastroenterologist told me to forget it and come back to her in a month for another endoscopy.

Yeah, forgetting about it won't work, it keeps reminding me of itself constantly. (((

Can anyone tell me if it's okay to take Gastorex with this type of gastritis, and if it might cause harm? I have low acidity and I'm taking plantain to raise it—maybe I should try Gastorex too?

For depression there's a very good herbal medicine. It's prepared by a phytotherapist with 15 years of experience. Many have been cured of neurosis and depression. Want the WhatsApp number? I'll write it, contact him.

Hi.
Let's keep in touch, my email is ***. Or WhatsApp as an option. Whichever is more convenient.

Or on WhatsApp, whichever is more convenient

I drink green tea, but jelly drinks are better

I also have atrophic gastritis, I'm being treated with Rebamipide and De-Nol twice a year. You can't take PPIs constantly; I've taken Nexium and Hirabezol in courses.

They found Helicobacter pylori, plus I have bile reflux into my stomach. H. pylori is treated with PPIs and antibiotics. After PPIs, the bile reflux got even worse, I almost went crazy. I don't understand how to eradicate Helicobacter pylori.

I was actually prescribed it, have you taken it?

If possible, please write it.

Hello, what symptoms do you have? After a month of treatment, I developed constant heaviness and it hasn't gone away for 3 months. I'm on a diet.
When will this pass?

So how did you restore it? Very interested to know?

What's your diagnosis? Is your acidity high or low?

Does anyone else experience severe pain with atrophic gastritis? I have excruciating pain day and night. I can't take any pills for my joints or heart—afterwards, I'm climbing the walls, and nothing helps. Constant bloating and pain. How am I supposed to live if I can't take a single pill? A strict diet and Nexium 40 mg dull the pain a bit... but if I take a pill for other issues, even Nexium is powerless!!!

I've suffered from gastritis since childhood, and atrophic gastritis started in 2016 when I was 48. Before, flare-ups would subside in a month or two, and I could somehow manage. But now it's been a year of hell. Nothing helps... I've tried different treatment plans and doctors. No H. pylori. Atrophy is in the antrum. Bile reflux into the stomach... I've taken pills by the handful all my life for various illnesses, and that's what ruined me.

Hello, can you tell me if you cured your atrophic gastritis? I also have focal atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia, treated H. pylori with antibiotics and took De-Nol, now they prescribed De-Nol again. I drank aloe juice, potato juice, Shestakovsky's balm. Before treatment, almost nothing bothered me, sometimes I had hunger pains, but after eating, everything went away.
