Well, my first one was the first week of January. "Mild gastritis" was detected too apparently, but a few weeks before that I began changing my diet. My follow up appointment was in early February and that's when I received the official diagnosis. I was prescribed Sucralfate, twice daily, and told to stay away from very processed meats, sodas, alcohol, smoking and spicy foods. I went completely bland from a somewhat bland diet and drank a LOT of water. Nothing but fruits, veggies, rice, and maybe an egg every now and then.
I'm still very much taking much better of myself and have cut virtually everything out of my diet that's high in fat, acid, sodium.
