Dyspepsia just been told

michellemundi

Hi I've just been told I may have dyspepsia, which is we're the acid is starting to eat the lining wall of my stomach.. And have been put in tablets for 2 months and told to only eat boiled foods. No sauces just bland foods. Only drink milk or water..
So if u have any good tips to eat, please feel free.
Any info is good info.
Thanku Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I have nonulcer dyspepsia, where I have the symptoms of a stomach ulcer but no actual damage to the stomach lining. I wasn't given any dietary advice but I know a few things that cause my painful flare ups. Try and avoid caffeine and alcohol. Wine especially seems to be an offender with me. Anything spicy, acidic or garlicky can set it off big time. You're probably best keeping your food as bland as possible - white carbs, dairy, chicken, white fish etc. Unfortunately these foods aren't always conducive to weight loss (and drugs like Omeprozole can cause a little weight gain too) so try and fill up on boiled veggies first. I actually tend to steam mine in the microwave and they don't give me any issues. Herbal teas can soothe symptoms - I like peppermint as it eases the bloating and gassiness but some find it too harsh on the stomach so camomile might be a little more soothing.

I don't have much more advice really but I do have sympathy - I'm currently in the middle of a flare up and I feel pretty rough. I can barely eat at the moment so at least I'm losing weight a little quicker... silver lining! Feel free to add me if you ever need to chat x
