Hi, I am a 50 year old female and have been suffering from chronic gastritis for many months, and on and off for about 5 years. I have tested negative 3 times to HP. The discomfort and wind associated with this irritates my vagus nerve and causes me to feel as though I am going to faint. I only suffer occasional pain which disperses when I belch.This happens most days. My weight has dropped from 50kgs to 45kgs but is stable. I exercise regularly and have a very good diet which excludes gluten, lactose, alcohol, sugar (apart from low sucrose fruits) and fried foods. I eat little red meat. I am taking digestive enzymes, probiotics, slippery elm and olive leaf extract. I generally feel under the weather. I have just been retested for low neutrophils as they were quite low a few months ago. They have improved since the throat infection but are still below the normal range. I am unable to tolerate the triple therapy and do not respond to acid inhibitors. I do tolerate amoxicillin and wonder if this could help as nothing I am doing is fixing this. Stress is definitely an issue but I don t believe it is all of the problem.
