Gastritis pain is unreal ! ☹️

Hi guys I haven’t been on here in a while but it all started 2 days ago. I got a sore stomach and I thought maybe it would pass but it never! The pain got worse and was excruciating felt like my insides were on fire and I couldn’t sleep and was doubled over in pain. So I went to the gp she examined me and said I had gastritis and has given me lansoprazole I think that’s how you spell it but said it can take up to a week for the tablets to help me. I’m taking gaviscon aswell but still in pain and this is when my anxiety peeks because I worry it will never go away and I can’t help feeling that way! I am a single mother to two kids and I’ve seriously been so ill the past few days. Has anyone got any remedies or just some reassurance for me ? I could cry in that down and I can’t sleep either because it’s so uncomfortable!! Help 😩😩

Yup is is horrid and very painful.

Can you take painkillers?

I took omeprazole for mine and it eased it by the next day

SAME. Literally dealing with this right now and waiting for Prilosec to start working. It’s shocking how painful it is. Hope you feel better soon.

I’ve took some paracetamol but tbh they haven’t done much 😩 she gave me tablets that I think are similar to Omeprazole. I know you can buy Omeprazole in the chemist so might give it a go on top because I’m suffering so bad and as you can imagine with two kids i have to carry on lol.
