Subject: RA and Gastritis

Hello again everyone,
Tests today have shown that I have gastritis, and inflammation of the lower intestine.
They are testing me for celiac disease to because I have aneamia, but showing no deficiency??
Anyone experienced this?
Could this be why my ESR and CRP wont go down?

Thanks Val and Jill,
I have looked them up and see the connection with gastritis, RA and nsaids.
On one site it did say that RA and gastritis go hand in hand, LOVELY!!
I didnt ask these questions because I was to drowsy to think straight at the time, but I will talk to my GP when I see him.
Speak again soon no doubt
hugs XX

Hi Angela I don't take them myself but I do know you can get tabs that protect your stomach against probs with your nsaids and tummy upset. its worth asking your rheuimy about them. take carexxxx
