Cooking for Gastritis

stop using Ibuprofen and take Prilosec twice a day. No info at all on
what to eat and what not to eat while this thing settles down.
Anyone have any ideas?

Here's something I found, but perhaps talking with someone who has had it
would be helpful. Odd the doctor didn't give you any instructions.

Avoid drinking alcohol, caffeinated beverages and citric acid. Do not
lay down for 3 hours after you eat. Hope you feel better, soon.

gastritis, especially later in life, is generally indicative of impending
stomach cancer.

the acid production in the stomach. Very effective and if you
can tolerate it (most can) it can be taken for long periods with
no significant side effects.
Here is the Prilosec website and its comments on diet; it is
pretty inclusive but of course you could google "prilosec
problems" to get all sorts of ideas good and bad about it.

I've been on it for over 10 years. No heartburn, no gastritis,
no GERD. For me, great stuff. Good luck.

I take generic omeprazole in 20 mg doses, most large supermarket and
drug chains now market their own. Prilosec, IMHO, is $3 or $4 higher
than the generic, at least in my experience. I take it for GERD but it
works on gastritis too.

Have you been using Ibuprofen or aspirin on an empty stomach?
If that is the case you MAY have damaged the stomach lining. If that is the
case then try not to take meds on empty stomach.
Time and the prilosec may allow the lining to heal.
Since the term is a general term I think trial and error are going to be
your best guidelines.
Sorry :-(

It's still a prescription drug. The OTC version is half-strength.
Besides, is it really any of your concern what Pavane's doctor
prescribed it for? Even with off-label uses, it's none of our business.

The usual advice is to avoid irritants and anything that might stay in
the stomach for a long time: caffeine, alcohol, acidic foods,
high-fat/fried foods, spicy foods etc. If it makes your stomach hurt,
don't eat it :) That will be different for different people.
Small meals eaten slowly, don't lie down after eating, don't eat right
before going to bed. Same plan as preventing heartburn/acid reflux
basically.

Whatever you can eat comfortably. Seriously. Avoid coffee and soft
drinks too in the meantime!
Egg dishes are good as are soft cooked veggies. That's what worked for
me when I used to suffer from bouts of that.
Keep pepto bismol on hand too if you can stand the stuff.
Hope you feel better soon hon'!

GERD. It works wonders on the right people. It took about two days
for the acid reflux and heartburn to stop; haven't come back since
but for a few days off of it every couple of years at doctor's
recommendation, I will get a twinge after three days or so and then
go back on it. It was prescribed after the standard endoscopy and
barium swallow (oh yummy!).

Thanks for your concern but I am feeling garrulous tonight, and the
info may help Carol feel better about it.
BTW the original Prilosec was 20 mg which the OTC is today; the
current prescription med is Nexium which is effectively a 40 mg
prilosec with added magnesium to aid stomach/esophagus erosion.
Nexium came on the market just as the patent for Prilosec ran out,
what a coincidence. Nexium is one of the drugs used as an example
of drug companies making minor modifications to existing drugs and
marketing them just as the patent on the original expires; sort of a
back door patent extension. What a world we live in.

No ideas for you, but please get it under control. Acid reflux and similar
problems are what can cause esophageal cancer. I've done a lot of reading
about it since my dad's diagnosis. Apparently when the cells of the
esophagus start getting damaged, they are prone to tumor growth. I have had
on-again-off-again reflux for years and now mom and me have decided we both
need to have gastric endoscopies done just to check. She has had reflux
history, too.

I'd been on the Prilosec OTC (not religiously) for GERD. Current doctor
first put me on Protonix, then Nexium -- with a horrendous co-pay -- but
it was still cheaper than full price. I got worse on the Nexium (I can't
explain why). I told him that the Prilosec worked fine, I just needed to
take twice as much. So, he switches me to the generic of Prilosec with a
co-pay of $7/month in the dosage I require. Still, the generic price for
most people that don't have drug plans is quite high.
Anyway, the GERD settled waaaaay down but I still purchase the
prescription Prilosec. Stockpiling I suppose.

Oatmeal and turkey. Stay away from coffee, tea and carbonated beverages.
No fruit or veggies for a while until your tummy calms down. I have
dealt with gastritis and the oatmeal and turkey diet was the only thing
that I was able to eat. The oatmeal does coat the stomach and is quite
soothing. The turkey is the least offensive protein.

I take Prevacid. I get a terrible headache from Prilosec and Nexium.

women with GERD and acid reflux. Some of us (a sister and a maternal
aunt) have had surgery for it. My mother had respiratory illness for
years and years and no one knew why until a doctor discovered that her
acid reflux had caused her to aspirate her own gastric juices and
corrode her lungs.
I have been on a constant dose of Prevacid for many years to prevent the
same thing happening to me, but even the drug doesn't completely turn
off the pumps. I have to sleep with my head raised and I need to be
careful about what I eat and when I eat it.
I didn't have esophageal cancer, just tongue cancer, but I'm ever so
careful with anything in the head and neck area and so is my darling ENT.

Thank you! I've used it before, for GERD. When I became diabetic and
stopped drinking pop with sugar in it, I stopped having problems (with
occasional exceptions), so I stopped spending the money on the
medication. Looks like I'm gonna start again.
Last Friday, I ate something that's so embarassingly stupid and weird
that I'm not gonna tell what it was, and anyone who knows me know that
I never hold back. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that my stomach lining is
gonna take awhile to repair itself.
The reason that I didn't get dietary counseling is that I was treated
in the emergency room. I was supposed to see my family doctor today,
but slept through until late afternoon. They were giving me something
for pain intravenously last night, and I could not stay awaketoday to
save my life.
Did have some entertaining dreams about the Earth's gravity getting
all messed up so anything round went in every which direction. And
then there was the squirrel, bowling on the beach with a nut and a
miniature Coca-Cola bottle. It was all on YouTube. LOL!
I've taken note of the dietary restrictions, both on the website and
shared by my RFC buddies. I was very happy to find out that, if I
live on oatmeal, I should have a happy tummy. I may have been a horse
in a former life, because I love oats.Turkey will have to wait for a
few days, but I'll get some.
I do have to follow up with an endoscopy. Had that once before.
Wasn't pleased, but whatcha gonna do? The results were just fine, and
that's what I'm planning on this time around, as well.
Crash got a ride to the store today and came back with generic
Prilosec and frozen pizza. Good thing I like oatmeal. Heehee!
Thanks everyone!

I've just come off a bout of gastritis that sent me to emerg by ambulance
(at my age they wanted to make sure my pain wasn't a heart attack). I've
been struggling for about six weeks to control it. I'm on Pariet, 20 mg
(generic) once daily now, but have taken it twice a day in the beginning.
The web site posted in another post gives good advice on what to eat. I
didn't catch the advice about turkey, though. With everything you've been

I do that too, re-filling my and the kids' allergy prescriptions
religiously, even though their allergies are, for the most part, seasonal.
My daughter claims we have enough Nasonex, itchy eye drops and inhalers
to see the entire clan through nuclear winter. I am less concerned with
nuclear winter than global warming. My primary worry, however, is loss
of prescription drug benefits.

Same here. I just didn't want to come across as "dramatic." Most of
the pain is in the diaphragm area, but on Thursday morning, then again
that night, it was also in my chest. First, they checked for a heart
attack, then for gallbladder problems, then settled on gastritis. The
enormous belches were a clue. LOL!

When I had mine, several years ago, they gave me Versed. It does take

If I did not have anyone to drive me home, they would not give me drugs
without an overnight stay, and it's an outpatient procedure.
They normally use a combo of Versed and Demerol.
On the up-side, I got to watch on the monitor. <g>
It was hard when they first shoved the scope down my throat (they used a
bite block between my teeth) as I have a strong gag reflex. The male
nurse held my hands and told me to breathe.
Once I started breathing around the scope, I was ok.
This was 16 years ago and I still remember it vividly.
A few weeks later, I got to undergo another scope procedure unsedated.
I won't go into detail about THAT one. ;-p

That's just not true. Prilosec is available in various strengths and
formats, the most commonly prescribed is 20mg, the same as Prilosec OTC.
http://www.rxlist.com/prilosec-drug.htm
http://www.drugs.com/prilosec.html
Omeprazole is available with a prescription and over-the-counter under the
brand names Prilosec and Prilosec OTC. Other brand or generic formulations
may also be available. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about this
medication, especially if it is new to you.
a.. Prilosec 10 mg - opaque, hard-gelatin, apricot/amethyst-colored
capsules
b.. Prilosec 20 mg - opaque, hard-gelatin, amethyst-colored capsules
c.. Prilosec 40 mg - opaque, hard-gelatin, apricot/amethyst-colored
capsules
d.. Prilosec OTC 20 mg - round, pink tablets

Apparently he had nothing to hide... the entire world knows why Prilosec is
generally indicated, GERD being the most common reason, but it is also often
prescribed along with other meds that have nothing to do with gastric
issues, Prilosec can protect against erosions caused by many other
medications. Typically when a medication for a chronic condition is
prescribed the prescribing physcian will automatically prescribe Prilosec,
Nexium, etc. because typical OTC antacids like Maalox, Mylanta, and Tums
will interfere with absorbtion of many drugs. Before taking OTC antacids
(or any meds, even certain foods) always discuss your medical issues with
your physcian/pharmacist.

It would never occur to anyone who even approaches normal, to eat what

Carol,
I just had a thought (dangerous I know). Anyway, check out the larger
pharmacies in your area, esp ones attached to grocery stores and department
stores. They often have a dietician attached to them that will do consults
for free. The pharmacy at the grocery store had one. They will go over any
health issues you have and take into account likes/dislikes, finances etc
and help to build a diet plan for you and your family. Check the stores
that sell groceries first as they will walk you around the store to find
suitable alternatives.

Carol,
I had acute gastritis whilst pregnant, so I feel for you, hon...it's a
b*tch. Try to stick to things that are easy to digest, not too acid-y and
not full of caffeine, and not greasy. Eat like you would for an ulcer,
basically. I was throwing up all the time, so I didn't get to eat much at
all, but without that part of it, there was more I could have had. One thing
that sets well usually is turkey sandwiches, for some reason. Nothing fancy,
just white meat turkey, a little mayo for moistness, lettuce. I skipped the
tomato, because of the acid, but you might get away with a thin slice if you
really need it. Mac & cheese, that was ok too, and homemade chicken broth,
with or without some homemade noodles. Canned soups have too much salt and
always upset my stomach.
Hope you get better quickly!

I forgot to say, I've been on Prilosec for about 14 years now. I take it
once a day these days. One thing to be careful of is making sure you eat
smaller meals several times a day and no large meals. Because Prilosec
inhibits acid production in your stomach, some foods (especially beef, it
seems) will take longer to digest, and a large meal including one or more of
those foods will give you indigestion, and possibly a bit of reflux.
Frequent reflux can lead to more serious complications (which was why I was
put on Prilosec! lol), so you want to avoid that...not to mention it just
plain sucks! :)
Hugs,
kimberly

Oh, yes...don't you just *love* barium? I swear drinking cement would go
down easier. Ugh.
I have a quick question just for my own curiosity: when you stop taking it
for a few days, as you mentioned, do you change your diet for those days at
all? I've tried eating as I normally would, but I've found avoiding certain
foods makes those days go a bit easier :)

I've got to ask ... did your baby have a full head of hair when s/he was
born? There was an old wives tale that babies (particularly boys) with
full heads of hair caused heartburn for the moms ...
My girls caused heartburn long AFTER they were born! ;-)

Cabbage juice is very soothing for gastritis sufferers. And it really
tastes pretty good. You'd be surprised. A little pear in it will help
sweeten it up and be easy on the stomach.
Cooked cabbage is quite good for gastritis as well. Cook it in some chicken
stock for a little richness.

No change because I want to see whether "things have cured themselves"
in the interim. No such luck, of course. The GERD was initially bad
enough that diet then did nothing to control it, and time certainly has
not helped. Nor hurt, thanks to the meds.

Please, please don't. It's extremely painful. Feels like severe
hunger pangs, but in the diaphragm area. Like it's in a tight fist.
Then, there's the nausea, vomiting, acid in the back of your mouth,
lack of appetite, things not tasting good when you do eat ... I don't
recommend this to anyone. Not even people I dislike.

Did they test for pancreas enzyme levels?

Damsel in dis Dress
I'm not sure what the blood tests were for. They drew four vials of
blood. Had an EKG, chest x-rays, abdominal x-rays, abdominal
ultrasound, some toothpaste-tasting stuff, and pain medication in my
IV.
I will make a note to ask my regular physician if they did that test.
Thanks for thinking of it!

One of my DIL's had severe GERD and didn't respond well to the medications
she received. She thought Prilosec was the work of the devil. Anyway she
had the above procedure done and it worked extremely well for her. She can
now drink orange juice and take vitamins without reflux. The trick is to
find a surgeon that has a lot of experience with this procedure.
I'm posting this because so many people suffer from GERD.

shoulda poured it in the oatmeal...that woulda made it leagal food.
Or used it as a flavouring on french fries.
Get the processed (Dutch) cocoa less acidic.
Dipping strawberries in a cocoa and sourcream dip works nicely for those

Yes, you'll need a juicer. They're a great thing to have around. You can

Well a tad bland but very easy on the stomach and cabbage really does have
properties that sooth bad digestion effects. It helps me control my bouts
of IBS. I had a little case of cystitis and fresh cranberry juice cleared
it up in 2 days. I really do believe in the medicinal value of food
especially when juiced.

No humiliation necessary, you mean you're human after all ?
Can you possibly imagine what it would be like if we all came clean? On a
scale of 1 to 10 you're a minus.

I don't eat much chocolate, but sometimes I get bad cravings for it,
despite not liking it that much. We don't generally have much
chocolate around. I have that cocoa mix in the house, though, so I
know now that it's not a good way to get a chocolate fix.

Typically, it might be extra sharp cheddar with crackers, or a piece of fresh
citrus, or a few pieces of dark chocolate. Nothing huge or complicated.
However, God help me, if I have baked a pie and there are leftovers, I can
guarantee there won't be any left by morning. :-)

We're late eaters so I hardly ever snack during the night. But once

Super Simple Nutella Ice Cream
1 1/2 cups Nutella
1 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon evaporated milk
Pre-freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Combine the chocolate hazelnut spread and the evaporated milk in a medium
mixing bowl, and stir with a whisk until they become one, voluptuous and
smooth. Depending on the texture of the spread you're using, this may
take a few minutes; don't get discouraged. (To speed things up, you may
use a blender/stick blender/stand mixer, or gently heat the evaporated
milk beforehand.)
Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Whisk again and churn in your
ice cream maker.
Makes about 750 ml (3/4 quart).
