The highest estimate of chronic gastritis out there is 25%.<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK544250/" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK544250/</a>The correct assertion would be that "H. Pylori is present in about 50% of the world population." (Which is not indicative of chronic gastritis.)<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK544250/" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK544250/</a>This doesn't invalidate fasting as an effective treatment for obesity and diabetes in 75% of the world population does it? So I don't see why you're going on about gastritis.I can see the merit in discussing this if your earlier claim were true that fasting worsens gastritis for 50% or more of the world's population but that is simply not the case.Read the thread again.Even if you have chronic gastritis you can try fasting. If your symptoms flare up during fasting get an OTC antacid short term and see if you can continue. If symptoms persist stop fasting and seek help from a medical professional. Don't rely on antacids and fasting alone to treat your gastritis.</blockquote>
