Bile Reflux Gastritis

[loony56]

I have been sick with Bile Reflux Gastritis. I have done a lot of research on this disease. My doctors put me on Sucralfate 1gm. It made my heart race. I searched for many days to help my self and other sufferers. I came across an article in Helium by Frank Will on Bile Relux Gastritis. It talks about natural cures and four herbs to take. I do have a boyfriend who is knowledgeable with some herbs. I tried the herbs in the article. Camomile tea, slippery elm, licorice root, and marshmallow root. I made a tea using them all. This is the first time I had relief.My stomach is so much better. I sip it all day long. Not warm but cooled off. I know that the licorice root you use sparingly because it can raise blood pressure. I want to tell other Bile Reflux Gastritis about these herbs. Please let them know about these remedies that have been around for hundreds of years. My question is what else can I do to produce less bile. I know I must do lowfat diet and digestive enzymes. Not sure which ones to buy. I am finally eating bananas, salmon, boiled potatoes, smoothies with Hemp pro50, I do not have my Gallbladder. I am dairy free, gluten free, no junk food, drink water and my tea. Can I use olive oil and butter only sparingly. Any suggestions would be great.Thank you Loony56

I go back to the dr on Monday for my 2 week post op appt.  We will see what he says then.  I have noticed that i can handle about 5 g of fat throughout the day and  that's it.  I have been so tired and sluggish as well.  It is hard but if changing your lifestyle is what you have to do then I say do it!!  I hope akawa finds relief and you can help her through this.  I have only been dealing with it for 5 weeks, but with seven kids and a husband that travels it makes it very hard.  I am going to try some of your suggestions and keep up with my food log.  akawa, keeping a food log really helps.  I started this because i was first diagnosed w/ gastro virus, 4 wks later they found out i had stones in my gallbladder, hence removal.  my dr loved that i had kept a log.  It really helps them as well.

Wow, great stuff.  I just had gall bladder removal done 6 days ago and am now having  what seems to be bile reflux.  My doctor is awesome, i really like him.  He called me to see how I was doing and I told him the pain i was having.  He told me it is some reflux and that it should go away.  That I should ease slowly back into rich foods since I haven't had anything solid to eat in 4 weeks.  There was no diet restriction after surgery and I may have gone a bit crazy on the Christmas cookies.  Felt great the first 4 days then the reflux started which is a burning, gnawing pain in my upper stomach.  I can even feel my gastric juices flowing, and let me tell you, they don't sound happy.

But now i wake up everyday very tired...... as if i have already done some heavy loads of work. My God i sometimes wanna stab myself. Before i had some nice weight and and nice muscles every is gone now. Sometimes i dont feel like eating at all. And i realize i am going down and down. Is there a complete cure for it pleeese just tell me the truth. And can i ever come to my normal state again before i die..............

Your life is just different now. You must change your eating habits and figure out what makes you sick. I have changed my whole life. I have even started a new company promoting herbs and essential oils for healing. I have helped many people figure out what to do next. Try some of the tea I suggested. It could calm you down. Everyone is different. I use to be a heavier person now I have lost 40 lbs and cannot eat dairy, meat, legumes, no gluten except oatmeal, no junk food or processed. Its a lot to give up but it was not good for me in the first place. I was feeling like all my dreams were gone. No just changed! Hope all of this helps. Stay in touch! Loony 56
