Gastritis and Mastic Gum

by Narda99, Aug 07, 2008 06:06PM
I have had gastritis for a year.  I have had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, and was diagnosed with gastritis.  I am on Nexium and Carafate.  Nothing seems to help with the gastritis. I have suffered for so long that I am willing to try anything at this point that will help.   I have heard that Mastic Gum works for this condition.  Is it safe to take?  I am a diabetic.

The short answer is no.

I've spent over $1200 trying various remedies and Mastic Gum will not help.  If you had H.Pylori then it may help, otherwise save your money.

I have been through four bottles of Mastic Gum and it does help with GERD, but did little to get rid of the gastritis symptoms (stomach pain, bloating).

I can point you in the right direction of some things that will help, so just send me a message if you want to find out some more.
