Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I had an ERCP last week and in my notes it states I have nodular gastritis. Anyone else? I know it runs in my family a bit but after doing some research I see it can also be caused by lack of B-12 and bile reflux. The bile reflux makes the most sense to me. Is anyone else being treated with this? If so, do you take over the counter zantac (ranitidine) or prilosec (omeprozole) or do you need an rx for something a little stronger like prevacid, nexium, etc? Or do you just let it go away by adjusting diet? I haven't really experienced symptoms yet. Thanks in advance, Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 In the last months pre-transplant I had bile reflux. Over the counter Pepcid 20 mg BID did the trick for me. I started on Zantac 75 mg BID, but when I was hospitalized the hospital did not have Zantac and preferred Pepcid. It worked better for me. If you choose either and have a Sam’s nearby, they have the absolute best prices on the generic equivalent of both drugs. Diet just wouldn’t do the trick for me…..even when I was NPO.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi I was just diagnosed with gastritis and I am taking fish oil, probiotics, vitamin B complex and obviosly not enough prilosec 20mg twice daily, cause I still have pain and hearburn. I am on here cause my husband is the on with PSC, but I seem to have more problems than him. He is still in denial about it though. I am taking rx prilosec. I am looking to see what else to take as I haven't found anything yet, I am sure someone on here will have ideas. I will be looking and good luck in finding something. skomula > > I had an ERCP last week and in my notes it states I have nodular > gastritis. Anyone else?
