Thank you Rosemary ! I clicked on it and read it. I think mine was acute gastritis as I never had any problems until about a month ago. My surgery was 7 weeks ago today. Before then, and right after, I never had stomach pain at all. The last time I took ibuprofen was the day after surgery. I took it twice that day instead of the pain meds as I don’t like pain meds. He last time I had any alcohol was way back in December before Christmas and symptoms starting. Now that I’m on Protonix for a month, it’s gitten much better. I have to take it for one more month and then my doctor will let me know if I can stop it. Thanks for the info ! I appreciate it.
