Can anyone offer any advice please.
My son is 13 and type 1 for nearly 3 years. He has had 4 bouts of gastritis since being diagnosed, and is currently suffering quite badly. He is in a lot of discomfort, cannot get comfortable at all, so much so that he ends up crying. He doesn't want to eat anything in case it hurts, which obviously is not ideal. He has been told to try Gaviscon, and last time he was prescribed Ranitidine tablets, but none of these seem to help. We have also tried yoghurt drinks just after meals. He gets so upset with it, and its heartbreaking to hear him say he hates himself. Whenever he drinks, he thinks he is going to be sick - thankfully he hasn't. This latest episode is probably the worst he has been, and it started two days after he had booster jabs at high school - don't know if there is any connection there. I have got him so low carb food to nibble on as we have been told it is best for him to eat little and often. Does anyone else have any experience of this and any suggestions as to what I can do to help him?
