Gastritis

[S Williams]

I have had gastritis for about a year and has gotten considerably worse these past few months. I follow a strict diet. Many of the conventional medications make me ill. I have lost 25 pds and am at a loss. 
Anyone else experiencing this?

IBS is typically associated with the colon vs. gastritis implies to me that it is stomach related. IBS is considered a function GI disorder and someone can have multiple functional GI disorders.

Losing a lot of weight is a sign that something else is likely also occurring.

Have you since had it investigated?

I was recently diagnosed with chronic gastritis after having an endoscopy. Even though I am on a prescription medication, I still have good days and bad days. For me, I think a lot has to do with stress. If you are losing weight, that's definitely a symptom you should have checked out.

There is a very helpful support group on Facebook that you might want to check out.
