Gastritis- please help?
-
Has anyone else experienced gastritis? About a month ago I began to experience on and off upper stomach/rib pain, that I was, at the time, able to ignore. I also noticed I was burping a lot and feeling nauseous. This started to develop daily, so I spoke to a doctor, who prescribed 20mg of Omeprazole daily. 2 weeks in I felt no better, so again phoned the doctors and they said to continue on 20mg and use Gaviscon if needed. I still feel no better- I would say the only thing is the rib pain isn't so severe

@kimbad I've been dealing with gastritis for almost three months now.
My symptoms are: constant upper abdominal discomfort (especially in the center below the ribs- every day), burping, occasional nausea (sometimes), and weight loss (is that a symptom?)
I've been on PPIs for the last few weeks but the abdominal discomfort just doesn't seem to get better. Yesterday, I visited another doctor and he changed up my medications a bit so I'm gonna try and see if that helps. Also, he recommended lifestyle and dietary changes. Mostly avoid spicy and oily food, preferably just have bland food. Walking at least once a day.
