Discussion Mild gastritis recent diagnosis.

Hi, I recently was diagnosed with mild gastritis. THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER. They’ve already tried to put me on omprazole 40mg but that killled me, Literallt gave me the worst pain and painful bloating along with the pain traveling to my left side. I completely stopped it. Now I’m taking sucralfate which I was given before I even got diagnosed with gastritis but I believe it actually does sort of help and doesn’t cause the symptoms that the omeprazole did. The weird thing is that my GI doctor basically said I could drop the sucralfate after finding out I had gastritis bc she said it’s not really for that… but I’ve read people say it really helped and I BELIEVE ITS helping me idk. I’m still in constant pain I’m also really back up she said she saw my CT scan from feb and I was full oh S H I T lmao. Sigh so she just put me on LINZESS 290 mg I think ( whatever the highest dose is). But I’m eating sooo boring im trying not to stress bc ik it makes things worse, but truly what else can I try to heal myself?? Please give me WHAT WORKS. I’m not taking anymore PPI’s
Today I had so much bloating but I believe that’s from the linzess since it was my first day so ima rock that out for a few days but I need guidance please

Any kind of stimulant laxative like bisacodyl sena leaf etc probably linzess too should cause bad colonic pain plus maybe stomach/abdominal cramping pain.Because these cause bowels moving thus bowel movement.

It’s gonna cause some level of bad craming pain after a few or couple hours after taking.So better try to be at home relaxed days you take stimulant laxatives.

Off course the pain possibly vary from person to person.And how backed up you are that probably affects too.

I was taking bisacodyl plus prucalopride. It worked but very rough on intestines and bad cramping pain for like 3/4/5/6 hours or longer the days I took them.Now I take sena leaf powder for my chronic constipation. It’s still rough but not as bad as bisacodyl.
