Review: This, along with some other supplements and diet, has healed my gastritis - Backstory first for context, method for improvement to follow. All supplements are Bold for convenience. Note: This is just my experience and should be taken as such. It could serve as a place to start or a place to continue with experimentation if you've already begun trying different things yourself. Backstory (feel free to skip to the 'method' portion if you've already been down this road before): I was diagnosed with SIBO about 7 years ago. Had a healthy diet, never smoked, no drugs, stayed away from NSAID's, barely ever drank, and it showed up overnight. Discovered the low FODMAP diet through my dietician a few years later and she identified my particular FODMAP that was the biggest issue (Fructans) for me and it changed my life. I also took a digestive enzyme (Digest Gold) and supplemented with a multi-vitamin, vitamin D, and Zinc. I also took a fiber supplement to help slow down digestion (Heather's Tummy Fiber) every day. These things, along with stress management, made me as normal as I could've hoped for relative to the time before having to deal with these issues. The daily bloating was pretty much always there, but given that BM's were regular, no pain, no fatigue, sleep was good, blood levels were good, etc. I figured I was doing fine for someone in my condition. I suddenly began having terrible GERD symptoms about 3 years ago out of nowhere and couldn't believe how bad it got so quickly. Horrible esophageal pain, indigestion, fatigue, you name it. I began supplementing with betaine HCl (Now Foods) and it was like a miracle. Within a week almost all pain was gone, fatigue went away immediately, could sleep through the night, everything improved. I was even able to ween myself off of them after about a year and was GERD free. Skip ahead to New Year's this year (6 1/2 months ago now) and got terribly sick from a party I attended. Tested for Covid and it was negative, but the symptoms were the same as the first time I had it last year so it could very well have been Covid again. Horrible fatigue, even passed out while walking at home at one point. Stomach became even more bloated than normal, food sat in my stomach forever and felt like concrete sitting in there, even got down to 2 meals a day. I figured it might be just my system taking its time to readjust after being so sick, but it didn't improve. Later in January I went through an incredibly stressful period of about 2 or 3 weeks which was the icing on the cake. Right after that (about mid February) I started having stomach pain in a way I haven't felt before. It was a burning that was consistent throughout the day, particularly (and curiously) mostly after drinking water usually about an hour or so after a meal. This also evolved into heartburn again. Symptoms included the usual: fatigue, upper abdominal (stomach) and esophageal pain, diarrhoea, etc... This is always scary and malnutrition becomes the first thing on my mind when anything like this happens, so I take it very seriously. I began supplementing with HCl again in an effort to mitigate the heartburn, not really knowing what the extra stomach pain was. I know that you're not supposed to take HCl if you have stomach ulcers, but never having dealt with that before and not having been tested for gastritis yet I didn't know what else to do. An important note to this is that they did in fact alleviate my heart burn, but didn't do anything for the stomach pain (no surprise). Once the heartburn was gone I gradually tapered off the HCl and relied on diet and supplements for the gastritis pain. The heartburn has not returned since. It's worth mentioning that I had a wonderful doctor, dietician, and Gastroenterologist a few years ago, but they have since all left their former jobs and started private practices. Good for them, but sucks for those of us who benefitted so much from their understanding and willingness to be open to alternative methods of medication that aren't just pharmaceuticals. I'm not interested in just going with what a doctor who just pushes drugs and has no actual experience or knowledge about an illness says at this point. Too many people suffer because of this kind of negligence and I'm disciplined enough to find methods that aren't pills that will most likely make me dependent on them or worse yet, make the initial condition worse (or give rise to a new one). I've had much success with different methods in the past and plan on continuing finding them when a new issue arises, even if it takes longer to find relief. About three months ago I decided to see my current doctor anyway since I wasn't sure how to deal with what I suspected was gastritis. We did a breath test for H. Pylori which came back negative, and other than confirming that she thought it sounded like Gastritis had nothing important to add. Nothing about diet, supplementation, or anything of the kind. Gave me a prescription for an H2 blocker which I have not touched since getting it and told me to set up an appointment with a GI doc to see about an endoscopy. I did set this up, but my initial consultation wasn't for another three months so I decided to do some research on my own and do what I always do: take action into my own hands and listen carefully to my body. That doctor's visit was back in March and the GI consultation just happened this past Friday (it's now June 19th). Method for improvement: Step 1: Diet -The first thing I did was adjust my diet again. I had heard red meat was a huge trigger for gastritis pain and sure enough, as soon as I cut it out I felt more relief. Chicken caused a little bit of an issue still but better than red meat, and I noticed fish like Salmon and Tilapia caused the least. Eggs were no issue at all. Raw nuts were good too. Certain fruits like blueberries, strawberries, kiwi's, were all good. Veggies like bell peppers and spinach were fine. I cut out grains like rice and quinoa because I felt as though I had more pain after eating those, so anything that even seemed like it could be a little bit of a trigger I cut out. Non-fat yogurt like Sigi's brand seemed to be okay too, and hard cheese like Gouda felt fine. I would have OWYN protein shakes with almond milk and peanut butter once a day too as it's a quick, easy way to get nutrients, and I noticed it didn't bother my stomach at all. I added some Manuka Honey into the rotation much more recently as well and actually felt a positive difference there too. All this, aside from the Honey (since I have to be careful with it anyway due to SIBO) was pretty much all I ate for 2 1/2 months. -As a side note about diet: I drink real loose leaf tea daily and was probably more reluctant to give up that ritual than any food. Particularly, I drink high quality Ripe Puerh tea almost daily which helps with digestion and calms my stomach. No additives, no herbs, just the tea leaves. I noticed that the thing that triggered my gastritis symptoms more than anything was drinking water after eating (I would usually wait about an hour to drink anything after a meal to give my stomach as much time to digest as I could), but this kind of tea not only didn't hurt, but it actually seemed to alleviate stomach pain after drinking it. In list form for convenience: -Eggs, Chicken, Fish, non-fat yogurt, hard cheeses -Spinach, bell peppers (steamed) -Blueberries, strawberries, kiwi -Raw nuts (walnuts, pecans), peanut butter (all natural if you can get it) -OWYN brand protein powder (Vanilla as chocolate can be triggering for gastritis) -Ripe Puerh tea (whole leaf only, not tea bag dust) Step 2: Supplementation -The first supplement I tried called Zinc L-carnosine (Doctor's Best). I had heard this helped heal the stomach lining and even showed efficacy in the eradication of H. Pylori overgrowth in some studies. Even though I didn't have an overgrowth of this kind (as far as the breath test was concerned) I figured I might as well try it. Within the first few days I noticed a change. The pain stomach pain was less intense throughout the day and I felt a had a little more energy. -The next was Mastic Gum (Horbaach). Of all the supplements I've tried this seemed to be the least noticeable as far as the difference it made is concerned, but I believe it helps for the following reason. I take two a day and, although my symptoms were steadily improving week to week the difference showed up most when I took three a day. My stomach pain was reduced to almost zero in the four days I tried three a day along with the Zinc L-carnosine. Unfortunately and curiously, even though my stomach pain was almost entirely gone, I experienced increasing bowel discomfort as well as irregular BM's. I cut it back down to two a day again and the discomfort went away, but the stomach pain increased slightly again. This seemed to suggest that three was optimal for my stomach, but less so for my bowels. -I also take a twice daily probiotic (H. Pylori fight from Supersmart). Again, not convinced this does too much but I did notice a bit more BM improvement after beginning this one. -More recently I started putting Colostrum (Happy Cow) in my protein shakes and have been astonished at the difference this has made in my bloating. I also feel like I'm digesting better and have more energy throughout the day. -It has been six months since I began having issues and just over three months since I began a more specific method of dealing with it and here's the most important thing I've learned so far: Strict consistency with diet and supplementation have been the biggest factors in improvement. Over the last month I have had a few glasses of wine on separate occasions with zero discomfort on 3 out of 4 of those occasions. I have added rice and quinoa back into my diet with no adverse effects. I even had a little beef two nights in a row and zero pain/discomfort. I sleep through the night every night now and have not woken up with any pain or discomfort for over a month. Every week is better. I expect to follow this regimen for at least a couple of more months, and will then slowly taper off supplements to see how I balance out. I've accepted that chronic health conditions are chronic precisely because Doctor's don't know what to do with them short of throwing pharmaceutical drugs or surgery at it and hoping for the best. If they knew how to cure them they wouldn't be chronic. Sure, there are people for whom those things can and do work for and some who have even had their lives saved because of their doctor's intervention, but these issues are complicated and individual and there are often no better resources than other people who have had their own experience with your condition. Yes, there are also people who don't have the patience or money to add supplements or dietary changes into their routine, but if you are able to it's worth giving a try. Please don't overuse supplements and be disciplined with diet once you find something that works for you. Yes, overnight results happen for some, but do not expect it. Be patient and follow it daily. Listen to what your body is telling you and adjust carefully based on this. I am not a woo-woo naturalist, I just have very little faith in the medical system to know what to do with chronic health conditions and accept, after having seen multiple doctor's, gastroenterologists, and dieticians (some wonderful and helpful, some not so much) over the years, that very few actually have the interest in finding out what's wrong with us and would rather throw a band-aid over a bullet hole because "that's just the method they use". Keep in mind this is only what has been working for me, not what will work for everyone. This stuff is miserable to deal with and can feel lonely, hopeless, and isolating. I'm not telling you it isn't. But if there's something you haven't tried or haven't tried for long enough to really know then try to keep an open mind. Good luck. UPDATE: About a month and a half after writing this and my diet has expanded again and I have next to zero discomfort or pain of any kind. I'm now down to 1 Mastic gum, 2 Zinc L-carnosine, and 2 H. Pylori Fight per day. The discipline for supplementation and diet has paid off it seems. I have to remain cautious, but I feel none of the worry and pain I did even at the time I wrote this original post.
Review: You'll be glad you did. Just buy it. - Okay I'm going to need you to hold onto whatever you're sitting on.. because this is going to blow you away. First off, I was skeptical of the reviews/ratings. Because how can a product with over 5K reviews and a solid 4.4 stars, I might mention, be THAT good? Nah.. But hey, I decided to give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe it'll actually help. As someone who has suffered from gastrointestinal issues for many years, I have been searching high and low for the most effective supplements without the high bill. My gastro issues had a domino effect and I succumbed to GERD, esophagitis, and gastritis to mention a few. These led to a constant unpleasant sulfur odor being emitted from my lungs/mouth without me having any control of this. I knew I desperately needed help. As someone who enjoys being social, gatherings became a big problem for me and mild depression began to set. To preface, I have tried everything from L-glutamine, Betaine HCl with bitters, turmeric/ginger capsules, probiotics, prebiotics, kefir, mastic gum, oregano oil, to fermented food and/or vegetables. Of course each for different purposes but all with the intent to eventually heal my detrimental stomach lining these gastro issues have caused. Desperate yet still hopeful, I came across this supplement and noticed beneficial effects from day 2 of use. Here's what I do- I take 2 capsules of Zinc Carnosine + Magnesium Glycinate every night before bedtime and I can literally feel the decreased inflammation when I wake up. There's no pain, no cramps, no bloating. I feel back to my normal self again. Is this a miracle pill? Probably not, but I will say it has significantly benefited me. I just wish I had my own personal endoscope to visibly see the dramatic effects but based on my symptoms, I am confident this is working. I am not fully healed but I'm only a week in and I am loving the effects. The sulfur odor is reducing, my stools are looking great, my brain fog has lifted, and the bloating is minimal. Just know- the key is consistency. If I can do it, you can too! I believe in you and your little healing gut. We got this!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long did it take you to feel some relief from stomach pain?**
A: Hard to believe because I have been in pain for so long but I actually felt relief after one day. My stomach has calmed down and the sharp pains and burning are gone!

**Q: what's the difference between this product and acid soothe by enzymedica?**
A: As others have stated, Acid Soothe contains far less of zinc carnosine (2 mg, vs. 75 mg) but the main difference is Acid Soothe contains enzymes and herbs and this product does not. I take both. When I first was diagnosed with gastritis, I took multiple doses of Acid Soothe per day to control pain and to help heal my stomach lining. It stopped the pain within 20 minutes and worked better than any prescription product or supplement I had tried previously. Now I only take it sporadically for discomfort because it still works the best to stop any pain quickly; I believe the marshmallow root and papaya leaf are a great combination. I can go weeks at a time without taking any. I take this product (Doctor's Best Zinc Carnosine) as directed, twice per day during or after meals. I've been doing this for 2 years now and although my gastritis isn't gone, I believe it's much more manageable without having to take prescription medication, which didn't work anyway.

**Q: Non-gmo, vegan, gluten free, soy free, but it has silicone dioxide? why?**
A: I read that silicon dioxide is used as an anticaking agent, but I would write to the manufacturer for a specific answer. In supplements, "it's used to prevent the various powdered ingredients from sticking together." This quote is from this website: http://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/is-silicon-dioxide-in-supplements-safe This website also said it is a naturally found substance in green leafy vegetables, beets, bell peppers, brown rice, oats and alfalfa.

**Q: it says take on empty stomach-how many minutes do u wait til u eat or minutes after u eat ???    TY**
A: On some of these studies, if you take it at least 30 mins before a meal (empty stomach!!) the effects are quick about 15 mins. With a meal the benefits are less but still works. For those having issues sleeping, take these pills during the days, you don’t have to take the second pill at night. The recommended dosage is far less than the maximum intake of Zinc L-Carnosine before by side effects, if there is any anyway.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This, along with some other supplements and diet, has healed my gastritis

I am not a woo-woo naturalist, I just have very little faith in the medical system to know what to do with chronic health conditions and accept, after having seen multiple doctor's, gastroenterologists, and dieticians (some wonderful and helpful, some not so much) over the years, that very few actually have the interest in finding out what's wrong with us and would rather throw a band-aid over a bullet hole because "that's just the method they use". Keep in mind this is only what has been working for me, not what will work for everyone. This stuff is miserable to deal with and can feel lonely, hopeless, and isolating. I'm not telling you it isn't. But if there's something you haven't tried or haven't tried for long enough to really know then try to keep an open mind. Good luck. UPDATE: About a month and a half after writing this and my diet has expanded again and I have next to zero discomfort or pain of any kind. I'm now down to 1 Mastic gum, 2 Zinc L-carnosine, and 2 H. Pylori Fight per day. The discipline for supplementation and diet has paid off it seems. I have to remain cautious, but I feel none of the worry and pain I did even at the time I wrote this original post.

Okay I'm going to need you to hold onto whatever you're sitting on.. because this is going to blow you away. First off, I was skeptical of the reviews/ratings. Because how can a product with over 5K reviews and a solid 4.4 stars, I might mention, be THAT good? Nah.. But hey, I decided to give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe it'll actually help. As someone who has suffered from gastrointestinal issues for many years, I have been searching high and low for the most effective supplements without the high bill. My gastro issues had a domino effect and I succumbed to GERD, esophagitis, and gastritis to mention a few. These led to a constant unpleasant sulfur odor being emitted from my lungs/mouth without me having any control of this. I knew I desperately needed help. As someone who enjoys being social, gatherings became a big problem for me and mild depression began to set. To preface, I have tried everything from L-glutamine, Betaine HCl with bitters, turmeric/ginger capsules, probiotics, prebiotics, kefir, mastic gum, oregano oil, to fermented food and/or vegetables. Of course each for different purposes but all with the intent to eventually heal my detrimental stomach lining these gastro issues have caused. Desperate yet still hopeful, I came across this supplement and noticed beneficial effects from day 2 of use. Here's what I do- I take 2 capsules of Zinc Carnosine + Magnesium Glycinate every night before bedtime and I can literally feel the decreased inflammation when I wake up. There's no pain, no cramps, no bloating. I feel back to my normal self again. Is this a miracle pill? Probably not, but I will say it has significantly benefited me. I just wish I had my own personal endoscope to visibly see the dramatic effects but based on my symptoms, I am confident this is working. I am not fully healed but I'm only a week in and I am loving the effects. The sulfur odor is reducing, my stools are looking great, my brain fog has lifted, and the bloating is minimal. Just know- the key is consistency. If I can do it, you can too! I believe in you and your little healing gut. We got this!
