Relieving my gastritis without medication: an update

I feel it's only fair to give an update on the gastritis situation for anyone desperately seeking relief of some description from the royal pain in the g-ass. 

The back story: As a gastritis and stomach ulcer sufferer I was despairing and

Living with Gastritis. What it feels like, one story.

My first encounter with severe stomach pain and bloating occured in 2010.  I was on antidepressants and had put on a lot of weight due to the upper.  There were many factors which lead to the prescription of the SSRI and I didn’t know it at the time but the latter was known for weight gain.  After 9 months and a well-rounded 20lb heavier with a bloating and reactionary belching to accompany it, I did a bit of research, found the culprit of the weight gain and decided twenty was a good enough number to stop at. I blamed fatness on the antidepressant.  I looked like I ate myself and was in fear of never seeing my feet again.

Aspirations of no perspiration, an update. What I have found not wearing deodorant for 5 weeks

My aspiration of no perspiration began just over a month ago now, 5 weeks to be exact.  I took this leap to rid myself of my dependancy on antiperspirant and deodorant once and for all.  I must confess I did attempt this cold turkey in 2009 whilst working in Dublin and well, the results were an epic fail. Two days in I caved and grabbed a co-workers spray and doused myself. I couldn't cope with my own smell and that's saying something. I feared everyone could see this stench surround me like a decomposing discoloured aura. 

I know a few people, three in total that don't use an antiperspirant or deodorant and never have. All three claim that when they do use it they sweat more and smell worse than if didn't put it on.  My interest was triggered again  upon my first visit to Los Angeles.  I bought a cream antiperspirant stick and when I read a possible side effect being linked to kidney function and failure I thought that's a bit weird, what on earth is in this stick that would affect my kidneys? As a side note I did not think that I would be living in the beautiful La La land years later. Life is good that way.  Thinking no more about my kidneys I blindly went about my day.  I carried on as normal smelling powder fresh for the next 6 years.
