Do you have a GI doc treating the gastritis? Are you on medication for it, like a proton pump inhibitor? Though those come with their own series of problems. I’m on Protonix. It could be some of the reason I’m have iron anemia (you need enough stomach acid to absorb the iron). I have gastritis as well.

Eating wasn't well today (1/2 sandwich). I'm suppose to be seeing a GI dr but there are none in my area. My case worker is trying to find one and a nutritionist. I'm on 2 meds for gastritis and 325 mg of iron and 500 mg vit. C 2x a day. My labs are all messed up I'm suppose to see a hematologist. I keep thinking as long as I don't "look" it I'm okay but I never "looked" it. Is your gastritis chronic or is it temporary?
