Today we’re going to talk about gastritis. Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach. 

Symptoms of gastritis:
• Indigestion 
• Vomiting (especially yellow or green fluid) 
• Nausea 
• Low appetite 
• Abdominal pain (especially in the upper part) 
• Burning (especially at night and in between meals)

Typically, if someone has acidity, acid reflux, or heartburn, I would suggest either betaine hydrochloride or apple cider vinegar. But, I wouldn’t suggest this if you have gastritis. With gastritis, there is inflammation in the stomach, so if you add more acid, you could make it worse. 

An easy way to tell if you may have gastritis is to take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride and see if you feel worse. If you get worse, you may either have gastritis or an ulcer. If you feel better, it may have been a lack of acid causing the problem in the first place. 

Potential causes of gastritis:
• Alcohol 
• Aspirin 
• NSAIDS 
• H. pylori 
• Cortisol 
• Bile 

Cortisol is activated by stress and can increase gastric acids even when there is no food in the stomach. This cortisol can then cause gastric erosion leading to inflammation and even an ulcer. 

High levels of cortisol may make cortisol less effective. Now, instead of cortisol acting as an anti-inflammatory, it can cause more inflammation. 

If there is bile regurgitating up into the stomach, you could experience inflammation and burning in the stomach. This can come from an obstruction in the bile ducts. A simple remedy is a bile salt called TUDCA. 

What you can do for gastritis (check with your doctor before applying):
• Decrease stress 
• Increase sleep 
• Take vitamin D and zinc carnosine 
• Support the adrenals 
• Do Healthy Keto and fasting 
• Use mastic gum

I got a nasty H Pylori infection untreated for 2 months because Dr referred me to Gastro and it took two months to see her. Prescribed 10 days of antibiotics and antiacids. It took 5 months to finally do an endoscopy and be diagnosed with gastritis. I am better because I took the following juice: Blend one small potato and 5-6 cabbage leaves with a glass of water. Drain and use that juice to add aloe vera juice and papaya. I drank it twice per day for 14 days. It makes miracles! You also have to cut out gluten, lactose, dairy, and all processed sugar. I lost 35 lbs in those 5 months. Cabbage/papaya help with digestive system; potato is a natural antiacid; aloe vera is antibacterial, antiinflammatory, and it helps rebuild your stomach protective layer. Cheers.

I received a $20k ER bill and the Drs didn’t even offer one idea or possibility of what I had….. Fortunately I found this channel and realized I have gastritis. Thankyou!

My Gi specialist almost passed out when I said I think I have low stomach acid and I could tell in his 45-plus years of experience I was probably the only patient that had said that to him. Thanks, Dr.Berg

Thank you Dr. Berg. I been dealing with stomach issues for over a year now. I think this video will put me on the right track of recovery. Unfortunately big company Doctors where of no help to me. Its so stressful not knowing what is going on and the people you expect to help you seem to be uninterested or give generic advice. But you my friend are a champion!

Just started taking zinc carnosine with a scoop of bone broth and wheatgrass juice in a water bottle with me to work for the past couple days. I drink it after breakfast and before lunch because you’re supposed to take the zinc on an empty stomach. I’m already noticing a big improvement in symptoms.

That and reducing stress. After I realized my symptoms were directly proportional to my stress levels, I started changing my focus. I don’t allow my mind to dwell on worries now. If something comes up, I figure out a game plan to address it, make a note on my phone so I don’t have to remember it, and stop thinking about it. I change my focus to something I enjoy. This is helping my recovery.

The autonomic nervous system is very susceptible to stress and it controls your digestion, among other things. Being constantly stressed literally kills us over time. Mental health is physical health.

I had nausea after eating and eating sugar stuff
So I got checked by the dr, had ultrasound to check gallbladder and liver ect, also for H Pryori came back all good.
Then I went keto, intermittent fasting and ive lost 15 kg and can feel ive fixed this problem

[sarbjitsara]

I been suffering with gastric ulcers because of emotional stress doc watching your videos helped me im more into vagtabls now and i drink fresh cabbage juice and celery and aleo vera juice my doctor prescribed me a antibiotic for 2 months because I was diagnosed with h pylori as well
Doc you're information is so accurate its helpful to watch all of them ❤

[hollayevladimiroff]

Thank you, Dr. Berg, your suggestion of cabbage and celery juice has healed my stomach, have had discomfort for two months, but now my stomach, after only four days, has improved greatly, thanks to you. God Bless you, this is an answer to a prayer.

I just wanted to add smoking as another cause. Heavy smoking on an empty stomach plus not eating on time gave me gastritis twice. I lost about 30lbs the first time and the burn and anxiety was excruciating. Taking DGL healed it quite fast and solution was to cut down and eventually quit smoking.

I was in the ER yesterday due to 2 weeks of horrible nausea. Diagnosed with Gastritis. Always turn to to Dr. Berg

[patnelson]

I really like watching Dr. Berg's videos. It seems he has a solution to every problem. My daughter had a bad case of acne and had tried everything, to no avail. Then I saw his video on acne and realized that she was making too much androgen and followed the advice for that acne pathway. Her skin looked so clear in a couple of days! Unreal!

[rashedalqaoud]

Thanks a lot doctor tudca helped me from day 1, iam on keto although iam slim for 2 months until now with 14 hours fasting with a lot off olive oil and little bit mct, I have h-pylori and stomach inflammation, iam a food and nutrition students, I learned a lot from you since 2 years ago until now, could not find any doctors better than you, may God rewards you for all good deeds and open your heart to the real straight way to paradise and help you avoid hell, O God Aameen.

[bushramohammed]

Dr berg honestly your videos are spot on, cant believe how accurate the info really is. May you live in great health and happiness always.

[kristenhernandez]

This is great advice. I had been taking Vitamin D for awhile, but I added trying to stick to keto and doing intermittent fasting. I also raised the head of my bed several inches (that took a few nights to get used to! But it did help; I really couldn’t sleep flat and the wedge pillow wasn’t real great for my back.) However, adding mastic gum as recommended every morning was amazing in helping heal my gastritis. Also, from another of Dr. Berg’s videos, I use chlorophyll throughout the day and it also calms my stomach. My symptoms have greatly improved and I was able to wean myself off the PPIs and H2s. I still have to be careful with what I eat but I no longer have nausea and pain. Thank you, Dr. Berg for your practical, concise videos. You help more in 10 minutes than others do in an hour!

[themblan]

Wow.. Eerily relevant to my situation right now. I think I have an ulcer. Just drinking water has given me pain.

[mattf]

Yes, whenever I get angry/frustrated at work, my [diagnosed w/ endoscopy] gastritis turns on like a switch.

[peggyhafenberg]

Thank you Dr. Berg for wanting people to live better lives. Your videos show you truly care. The last year I have noticed my stress level spike two weeks before Menstruation. I just start feeling stressed for no reason. Then my stomach starts burning. I just did an endoscopy that showed gastritis and mild chronic ileitis. I tried to go Keto but it made it worse. More insomnia and more indigestion due to higher fat consumption. Intermittent fasting seems to help. But I have also had times when fasting made it worse. My stomach would get hungry and start producing acid and cause irritation. I will see which of your tips I can try next. Thank you so much for sharing!

[piikea]

Dr. Berg I have gastritis due to chronic anxiety related to childhood trauma. I was diagnosed with duodenal ulcers at 6 years old and have been treated for it. Ive accepted the anxiety wont ever go away and am still trying to find ways to heal my gut. I am going to try your suggestions and would be grateful for any other information.

[neeneem]
