Anyone reversed or managed autoimmune gastritis? Looking for real experiences & alternatives
Hey everyone,
I’m reaching out because I’m honestly feeling overwhelmed and could really use some guidance or shared experiences.
For the past 4 years, I’ve been dealing with ongoing gallstone-related pain issues. While trying to manage that, I’ve now been hit with something new — autoimmune gastritis. Recent bloodwork showed low hemoglobin, but other levels are still within range for now. However, my anti-parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies came back positive/high.
I’ve already started following a strict diet and focusing heavily on liver and gut health, but this diagnosis has been pretty devastating mentally. I’m worried about progression, nutrient deficiencies (especially B12/iron), and long-term complications.
I’m hoping to hear from anyone who:
• Has successfully managed or improved autoimmune gastritis
• Has tried alternative or functional approaches (diet, supplements, lifestyle changes, etc.)
• Has seen stabilization or reversal (even partial)
• Can share what actually helped vs. what didn’t
I’m open to learning and trying different approaches (within reason), especially anything that helped reduce antibodies, improve stomach lining, or prevent progression.
Appreciate any insight, personal stories, or direction. This has been a tough journey and I’m trying to stay proactive.
Thank you 🙏
