Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with antral gastritis, lots of acid in stomach and reflux. Problems started after I took some medicines. Since then I am always hungry. I eat more than before the problem started, but still I feel hungry. I am also suffering from excessive hair loss. Why am I always hungry? What treatment do you suggest?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- For antral gastritis take tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before food for a month. It will control acidity and reflux.
- Excessive hunger is good for you as your weight is normal and it is also good for stomach.
- Just rule out diabetes by doing fasting blood sugar (FBS).
- Hair loss is not related to antral gastritis. Please consult a dermatologist for further physical evaluation.
The Probable causes:
Antral gastritis
Investigations to be done:1. Complete blood count (CBC).
2. Liver function tests (LFT)
3. Fasting blood sugar (FBS).
4. Thyroid functions.
Preventive measures:

Hello doctor,
I asked before for antral gastritis. I am still always hungry and hair is still falling out. My thyroid is fine and blood sugar too. I started taking medicines which caused gastritis and after three months I was anemic, had hair loss and felt too much hungry too much. I felt my body is not absorbing well, and wants more food. Can gastritis cause vitamin deficiency, anemia and malabsorbtion? I do not take those medicines any more for over a year but all the problems are still there.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Hair fall is not due to antral gastritis. Please consult dermatologist for the same.
- Excessive hungry is also not due to antral gastritis.
- Yes, antral gastritis may cause vitamin deficiency if you have intrinsic factor deficiency.
