I know I’m not alone with this problem: I have chronic gastritis. For those, who are not familiar with this term:

Gastritis is an inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the lining of the stomach. It can occur suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic).

It has started about 4 years ago, and I’ve suffered from the symptoms of gastritis ever since. Till the last year. I’m so happy to tell, that I had no issues with my stomach for already more than a year! You may wonder what has helped me: medicines, healthy food, a secret recipe? Well, the secret recipe was to cut down the source of stress from my life. Let me tell you my story.

How It Started

I was 18 when I began to experience abdominal pain, bloating, and so-called hunger pangs. That wasn’t fun at all. Later I was diagnosed with “gastritis” caused by Helicobacter pylori. It is a bacterium that lives in the mucous lining of the stomach. My mom was convinced that was the result of my bad nutrition, but I’m pretty sure it’s not (my diet was fine). It couldn’t be a coincidence it started at the same time I fell in love for the first time with a “bad guy”. I struggled to manage my feelings, it was overwhelming and painful. Sure, I realize now this unnecessary drama existed only…
