Gastritis after surgery

[Lindsay loo]

Hi all. Has anyone experienced gastritis after surgery? I had a laparoscopic illeocaecal resection just over two week ago and started with gastritis at two weeks post surgery. It’s extremely uncomfortable and was already on ppi’s. Gone to a bland diet and eating small and often. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this? I’m prone to this as I’ve suffered reflux in the past and gastric pain was my first symptom of Crohn's disease,

Hi Chris!
Thanks for spending the time to reply . Yes I will let you know. Essentially doing really well to be honest, just wanting to know if the things I’m experiencing are normal but I can’t complain. Hope all is well with you?

I recently had a colonoscopy / endoscopy and the doctor's report said gastritis ! I have been taking Pantoprazole for years, but now my heartburn and acid reflux is worse and I take Extra Strength Gaviscon ( otc ) everyday too. I agree it is very uncomfortable. I hope my doctor has some answers for me. My appointment is May 19. I have been on a liquid diet for 3 weeks and I still have this happen.

Hi! Have you had surgery or a worsening of symptoms not related to surgery? If not related to surgery have you had some periods of extreme stress as definitely makes it worse! Also spicy foods are a no no! Gaviscon extra strength before bed helps! I have lots! Ppi’s in the morning and gaviscon at night. Also live natural yoghurt after meals. Eat two-three hourly. Have you been advised to have a liquid diet? I would think that would mean more reflux?? Not solid so will reflux up oesophagus?
