[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 974150, member: 94348"] He does need to be checked out by a consultant - years ago this was always the case before prescribing anything other than Gaviscon as proper diagnosis is most important first. And especially when the problem has started suddenly. This applies even more now, as proton pump inhibitors (and to a lesser extent H2 blockers (eg ranitidine)) can often seem to sort things, but are, anyway, now seen as only a temporary short term measure and not for the long term - as research suggests various long term side effects - see [URL]http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/804146[/URL], and many websites including NHS choices - There is often a reason for gastritis - as others say above - has he had an autoantibody screen for celiac? Even if he is not celiac there may be the diagnosis i have - 'reactive gastritis', where a biopsy finds more eosinophils - i discovered through trial and error that gluten and cows milk were part of the problem foods i must have been reacting to, even though not celiac, and was able to stop various medications i had been on for 20 plus years, which had probably contributed to long term problems i have with bones. PS i cant manage very low carb - i keep as low as i can but need porridge, bananas, apples etc.Hope things sort out. [/QUOTE]
