I think the Most essential thing to remember is you have to find you Trigger foods to Heal faster. As a Gastritis Sufferer myself the IGg Food Sensitivity test has helped me the most to find which triggers foods were giving me the Gastritis.
I do believe there are many variable at play and this is more complicated and strait answer is not always possible. Everyone is different and are in different states of Health. The resolution for this health problem should be tackled in Naturopathic way. You are the only person knows how you feel and no pill will ever make the problem just magically disappear.
Gastritis has many symptoms which effects the nutritional vitamin absorption in the body. The PH acidity gastric juices are effected which results in needy absorption values. If you had this disease for long time you see effect in the vision (Blurry Vision) and Hair and skin. Poor Vision and Hair loss is aftereffect of having the disease for prolong periods of time.
Test for Food Sensitivities: It’s called a IgG Food Sensitivity Test
Test for H.Pylori Infection: This can be done through your MP or Family Doctor (In Canada). The test is relatively basic but it can be most of the time inconclusive as H.Pylori hide in different part of the Body! This is why it’s better to have an Endoscopy Done – to do the Snip test.
These are the Foods that I would seriously stay away from if you want to get better faster. This doesn’t mean that you will not be able to eat these food (in Moderation) in the future but only for about 6–12 months time. This will give your Digestion systems more time to heal.
Bread – Gluten (Pasta) – You can supplement this with Rice Noddles as they less Food Allergenic for Gastritis Suffers.
Milk Products (Dairy) – DO NOT DRINK THIS IF YOU HAVE GASTRITIS. If you like you can drink Pasteurized Goat Milk. You can Supplement Coconut Milk for this or Hemp Milk. I would not recommend Almond or Soya as Gastritis Suffers have problems with these as well. The Only Milk product that I would still recommend to take is Kafir as it contains almost no (or very Little) Lactose that Upsets the Stomach. (This of course depend on the Brand – So you have to find a Good Brand yourself). Costco carries a Brand called GOOD MOOOD Farms and this is the one I would recommend.
Coffee & Black Tea should never be taken – Supplement with Linden Tea or Green Tea.
Eggs – Some people can tolerate this but until you do the Food Sensitivity Test I would stay away.
Alcohol – Stay away but in some different type of Gastritis it is beneficial as it kills the Bacteria . There is one brand that I used from time to time and I never felt any problems with it. The Brand is called Jagermeister and it contain 56 Different Herbs and tastes kind like Medicine Cough Syrup.
SUGAR – Avoid eating anything Sweet, this is tough I know. You can supplement with Stevia For your Sweet Tooth. If you crave sugar, this can also mean your Bad Bacteria are run out control and are starving you out! Your bacteria that you have are your second brain and drive you to do things that you normally would not do!
Chocolate – No Chocolate Ever, these are extremely tough to Digest and create a huge impact on your Body.
No Avocado’s – These are really beneficial but not for Gastritis Sufferers.
No Spicy Food’s – I know these are delicious but you have to stay away from them for your Gastritis to heal Quicker.
DO NOT EAT LATE BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP – The Last meal should be at 5-6 hours before going to sleep. You don’t nee energy for sleeping and so don’t eat – only drink a cup of Kafir. I’m the Biggest Offender of this – I just can’t say NO!
These are Foods & Supplements I have taken which helped me Heal Faster.
DGL – Taken 30 Min Before meals or after meals (45Min After). Take two 500mg
Mastic Gum – This is done to Kill the H.Pilori in a Natural way when Anti-Antibiotics don’t work!. Take 1 500mg to 750mg before first meal in the Morning and when you are going to Sleep.
Digestion Pills – To lend a hand you digest faster you can take INTOLERANCE COMPLEX by Enzyme Science. I would recommend only this brand because it will lend a hand you with the IgG problem you are having. These Supplement are special so I would only stay with them.
Doctor’s Best PepzinGI – If you are taking the Mastic Gum then these should only be taken in at lunch time 30 min Before meal. These are used to Treat Gastritis, IBS and Much more digestive disorders. There is very engaging SIDE EFFECT of this Supplement as it grows HAIR!
Bone Broth Soup – Boil Cut Beef Bones in Water for like 3-6 hours and drink this Soup in between Meals. The Bones contain a lot of gelatin which has certain health benefits that lend a hand the Skin, Joint, Immune and Gut Heath. There is one Brand on the Market that is really good and I have provided it below. They
Celery Juice – Alternatively or at the same time you can also do 1–2 cups Celery Juice in the morning to speed up your healing time. This again is not a food and has to be done 30 minutes prior to eating. Eventually ths will bring back the function of your stomach acids back. When you have gotten your mucus layer back you will be able to introduce the fruit juices into the diet. These will in turn will speed up the healing much much faster.
Kafir – Kafir can also be done in the morning and at night when getting ready to go to sleep. Take one cup in Morning and at night. Kafir belong to Diary but it contains very little Lactose and can in most cases be tolerated. This should be taken on empty stomach otherwise it is a food and not a healing agent. The good bacteria that this contains will enable your Villi & Microvilli to heal faster so you then you will be able to gain weight.
If you have lost a lot of weight don’t worry you will get it back once your blood becomes clear. There is way way too much emphasis on being bigger is better in North America – well it is NOT! It takes about 90days to regenerate the blood cells into recent round shape ones. Do blood Cell analysis with your Naturopath Doctor.
The Digesting Healing Program usually take about 4–6 weeks if you stay away from the Trigger Foods like listed above. Depending on how long your condition has lasted it may take longer. Everyone is different and are in difference states of health so you will heal accordingly to what state of health your in. You will see a noticeable improvement in 2 weeks time and after 3–5 weeks time you will start to get the Hunger pangs and so be careful!! Don’t start your regular food right away and do very very petite moderation. Again like I have mentioned depending how long you have been ailing – I would do 3–6 months and stay away from your inflammatory foods.
I have done multiple tests on myself with these Naturopathic Supplements… I can conclude that the Liver is somehow responsible for many forms of Gastric problems including IBS. You will not find anything in the Blood or in the liver. The scans have to be more sensitive then Emergency Type analysis done by the ER in the hospitals. The liver is the largest digestion organ in your body and is responsible for thousands of functions. IBS is an aftereffect of the Upper GI problems. Gastritis and IBS most often occurs together as the PH level is incorrect and results in spasms of the immense colon. The spasms are so great that upper pressure in felt in the Pit of the stomach. Most often Family doctors will prescribe proton pump inhibitors without knowing the PH level of what form of gastritis it is…. this is a wrong approach as the effect will be felt for many years to come of further Gastric upsets.
I will write update this Tutorial on the Foods you should be eating when you have Gastritis/IBS.
First do the H.Pylori Testing and then the IgG but you can start the Natural Supplements anytime but careful to never mix the Chemical PPI’s with the supplement as You might run into problems. Keep them apart at least 3 hours before and After!
Take a more Active Lifestyle and move those Lymph Glands into action. Get up in the Morning and walk 2-km (before your first Meal) and then 2 more times during the day. Look at the attractive Green Grasses and the Everlasting Blue Sky and be Happy to be Alive! Have a positive Mindset and Say to yourself Every Day in Every day in every way I’m getting Better – Better and Better. Take a trip to some other country and I trust me – you will have to get better! In 1st World Countries like America we are all so Pampered!
I wish everyone all the BEST of Curing Your Gastritis and don’t worry you will
