Up until recently I was using Optium Nutrtion Pro Gainer but I was diagnosed with Gastritis today so I was wondering if anyone knew of mass gainers/proteins that would be easy on my stomach. To be honest I don't know if this gastritis thing is permenant, but i'm going to get medication and adjust my diet so I can start gaining weight again.
I was 155 pounds and within the last 5 months (due to not being able to take my mass gainer and digestive issues) I lost 20-25 pounds. I'm really desperate to gain it back, hence why I ask for mass gainer, but I also know absolutely nothing when it comes to the nutrition aspect of weight lifting. So, any suggestions for a mass gainer/protein that will be easy on my stomach?
Also, I heard apple cider vinegar would help with my gastritis so i'm going to start doing that daily. Does anyone know if I consistently take ACV will I be able to continue using my Optium Nutrition pro gainer?
Thanks!

It's actually the Serious Mass product, not Pro Gainer*

Listen to your treating physician. Gastritis should not take long to heal. What is the source of your gastritis? Eliminate the cause, treat it, then re-start your regimen. If it comes back, it might be one of your supplements you are using.

Does whole food have any effect on your gastritis? If not than just go for caloric-dense foods over the weight gainer shakes.

At the moment I do not know. I just went in for a colonoscopy/egd and they found it. I'm supposed to go in 2 weeks for medications. But I believe it was caused by a mixture of heavy alcohol consumption, bad diet, and supplements. It also could be the bacterial cause, I'll have to call and ask.Originally Posted by XCriticalBenchX

I believe that my stomach can handle them, so I'll look into it. It's tough for me to eat when i'm so time crunched at the moment, that's why I relied on mass gainer for some extra calories.
