Don’t treat the symptom, treat the cause!  It is very important to determine the cause of your gastritis.  Once you have determined the cause, eliminate it and do not re-introduce it.

• Coffee
• Stress
• Helicobacter Pylori (h. pylori); a main cause of gastritis

• Ibuprofen, aspirins, NSAID’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
• Bile Reflux
• Alcohol
• Celiac Disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity

A: Hello -

I am glad to hear that Gastric Repair Complex is helping reduce your symptoms of acid reflux.

It makes sense that you also have gas, bloating, constipation and upset stomach as these symptoms are commonly found along with acid reflux.
