Gastritis

Well, after six months of dealing with gnarly stomach pain, nausea, frequent visits to my primary care doc/ follow ups with GI specialist, trying every over the counter antacid/acid reducer and even being scoped I am still having these issues. I am not getting much nausea anymore like I was this summer which I'm EXTREMELY thankful for (Imagine trying to repair and clean pools by yourself all summer in 100+ degree heat with the most intense nausea you've ever felt in your life), but I still get the intense pain right in the center of my stomach that feels like someone punched me in abdomen 100 times while I was asleep. It's as if I can almost feel where the lining of my stomach is irritated and inflamed and its so fucking gnarly on some days.

I will also note that the pain is happening less and less which my GI specialist noted was a very good sign. This summer I would only have 1-2 days that I felt decent, now it feels like it's every two weeks it starts acting up. Anyways, I guess I am just rambling on, just thought I would update this thread since it's been almost 3 months.

It was bad enough today that I was actually happy my plans to go to the track got cancelled. Anyone who knows me knows I ALWAYS want to ride Just makes me wonder if it will someday go away completely or if this is my life now. I hope not.

My GI specialist has had me on Lansoprozle for probably 2-3 months and I honestly can't tell if it's working or not. Should I head back to PC doctor and have them send me to a different specialist or just deal with what I've got for the time being? I also went to an allergist for the first time which was more or less a total waste. They had me do a ton of blood work and all they told me was to stay away from soy beans.

Yeah man I’m 24 and had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, the prep was horrible. $7000 for that procedure and I feel like I got absolutely nothing out of it. Total waste of time. Four months later and I’m still in excruciating pain every other week. Glad I have good insurance. How exactly did you change your diet? What stuff did you cut out?
