Hi Marta,

I started to take VitB12 sublingual about 3 days ago. This has made a big

difference in my stomach. VitB12 is for your nerves. Also take

acidophilus.

I spoke with local herbal store and this is what they recommended for

gastritis.

slippery elm

turmeric

marshmellow root capsules

st. john's wort

chamomile

callengella [sp]

There is a formula called anti-inflammatory which contains:

tumeric

marshmellow root capsules

st. john's wort

chamomile

Anti-microbial:

grapefruit seed extract

Connective tissue health:

grape seed extract

[i was taking this and feeling really good but can't take it when I flare up.]

Be careful with grapefruit seed extract and grape seed extract are both

astringents so they would irritate the stomach. I am going to try grape

seed and marshmellow root capsules together.

Hi Kiana,

I wanted to correct something here. When I posted about severe

indigestion from the Milk Thistle, I was wrong, it was the calcium that

upset my stomach. Actually, after I started to take the Milk Thistle, I

began having charley horses, or leg cramps, I wasn't sure if it was related,

but I stopped the Milk Thistle just in case. Anyone ever hear of that

happening from this? First I got one in the right leg, then the left the

next night, and then my right ankle.....they hurt like HELL!

Thanks for that list of vitamins and herbs that are helpful for

gastritis. I am afraid to take anymore things that may cause me problems.

Years ago I was rx'd lots of B6 for PMS, after a few weeks my legs were

totally numb. I found out that large amounts can cause this. I am now

afraid to take anything other than what the doctor gives me, and not so sure

about that either.

Hugs,

Marta
