anyone with gastritis find that it subsided after colectomy/ileostomy? a week or two after step 1 of 3 mine went away for a couple months til my remaining colon tissue started to flair (i'm told its called diversion colitis, crampy bms with mucus and little blood) then my gastritis came back. step 2 is this friday and i cant wait for the remaining tissue to be gone and see if the gastritis subsides again. its seems to me the colitis is the cause of my gastritis as it began with my first flair and was always worse when colitis was worse. any thoughts?

I suffered from gastritis badly before having my step one of
two surgeries done. After passing some gas directly
following surgery while my system was starting up
it's pretty much dissapeared now. I was worried that
my temp ileostomy was going to be like a baloon hanging
off of my stomach but that has not been the case.
I sure do hope this continues after takedown!

its not gas is gastritis which its severe pain from stomach inflammation...
I can't comment on steps or your surgery but I have bad gastritis and esophogitis. I take previcid right now and it cut it down a lot. I had no clue I had it until a scope showed it all. Mine was worse after this surgery. I didn't have it this bad prior.
acid blockers made mine worse but the surgery made it better. only time it flares is when colitis flare and of course after friday colitis should be cured if all goes well...
Yea I don't have colitis but I had a vertical gastrectomy so they think that is what causes it along with trauma from surgery.
