Here’s my results of my second endoscopy! Do I still have gastritis? This just shows what everyone says is true, you can still have some form of gastritis even if you don’t have the main symtpoms of it like severe stomach pain. This is why you should continue to eat your strict diet for 6 months- 1 year as it takes a long time for our stomachs to heal. I eat around 2,000 calories a day now, no stomach pain, but my stomach is slightly inflammed. Like I said in the video, I honestly think my gastritis healed but my stomach has gotten a little inflammed again from the bile acid that I now have and this is what’s actually causing the slight inflammation. I will continue to eat my diet for another 3 months and figure out how to balance everything in my gut. I hope my story can help some of you and your journey to recovery as I’m still trying to fight through this as well with all of you.

I just got my results back for my second endoscopy, let's talk about it. So, I have good news and bad news, and so the question is, do I still have gastritis? My stomach is still slightly inflamed, it's not as inflamed as my first endoscopy. My doctor said that, "Stuffling less inflamed, I don't have a high edal hernia anymore," which I was actually hypothesizing that I wasn't going to have a high edal hernia, because when you have gastritis, your stomach gets so bloated and inflamed. It's irritated, you know, it feels like you have so much stuff in your stomach, and what I'm thinking is why a lot of people that have gastritis have a high edal hernia is because, again, their stomach is so bloated and inflamed that all that pressure is starting to push up your stomach, past your diaphragm into your esophagus where it's not supposed to be. But if your stomach is not as inflamed anymore, if the inflammation went down, you're not as bloated and you're eating better, that stomach is not going to have as much pressure and you won't have a high edal hernia anymore. And that's what I was thinking going into my endoscopy hoping I wouldn't have a high edal hernia anymore because every time I go to the doctor, they tell me I'm going to have acid reflux for the rest of my life now because I have a high edal hernia. Now they can't tell me that anymore, so yeah, I don't have a high edal hernia. My inflammation of my stomach is not completely gone, it is better though. And then the second thing that they found out that I have now that wasn't in my first endoscopy, now I have bile acid in my stomach, which my doctor explained this might be the reason why I still have a little bit of inflammation in my stomach. When I first had gastritis, it was really hard to say what caused it, but now I honestly think my gastritis healed. Now I have this bile acid that's come out of nowhere and is irritating my stomach again. So that's kind of like the bad news, but also good news at the same time because as you'll know, I don't really get stomach pain anymore, but I've been dealing with a lot of acid reflux in chest pain and I thought it was from trying to get off the PPI because it just does not help me at all and PPI's are supposed to help with acid reflux and mine doesn't. And so PPI's don't really help suppress bile acid. This explains why my PPI's aren't working. So that's basically everything that I've gotten from my second endoscopy, I'll have to wait for the results for the biopsy that they did. We have anyone deals with bile acid in their stomach or bile acid reflux. How did you heal it? Do you know what caused it? Did you not have it in the first place and you got gastritis and you were on a PPI and now you have bile acid reflux? Basically the new plan for me is they're going to put me on care of fate. It doesn't really solve the problem of the bile acid like why is it still where it's not supposed to be. I'm still going to follow my low acidic gastritis diet probably for another three months. I was hoping to go into the new year not having to follow this strict diet anymore but it looks like I'm going to have to figure out why I have a lot of bile acid coming up. So I'm a little bummed about that and now I have some answers.
