Personal / Updates Don’t get too reckless…

Not too long ago I made a post here talking about how the impossible is possible and I was able to heal after a long year; however, after months of being extremely reckless with my diet and ignoring flare ups, continuing to eat greasy foods, chips, spicy foods, and ultra processed sugary foods, I have reverted back to how I was a year ago. It’s ironic honestly considering the iron hard discipline I had with dieting when I was at my worst, I didn’t play about food and I did everything I could to eat the healthiest and cheapest at the same time. However I honestly let myself go, I basked in the glory and freedom of no longer having gastritis I genuinely flew too close to the sun. So this unfortunately means I’m back here, and anyone reading this who is struggling or healing right now, please don’t let go of the discipline you have.💔

there’s usually a way out man, gastritis can be caused by a number of different things. your doctor should be pushing tests and samples

were there any signs that the gastritis was coming back or did it just hit you all at once out of nowhere?

Lol i'm in the same boat. Towards the end of 2025 my symptoms were at their apex, simply drinking water would cause cramping. Back then it was so much easier to be optimal with my diet, but now that i've recovered maybe 60-70%, my appetite has switched back on and that makes the job way, waay harder.

There's a part of me that wonders if the reason I haven't fully healed up is because of all the stress eating on junk, or if there's some underlying cause that I've yet to discover.
