Acid in esophagus

You indicated that you were interested in knowing more about gastritis. Being a well informed patient is vital to success in treatment. Here is a website from Mayo that might answer some of your questions, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gastritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20355807

I'm supposing that you must have had some symptoms that led your doctor to do an upper GI? Has your doctor suggested any meds and/or change in eating habits to help with your symptoms?

I have learned the hard way that ignoring, or self treating of acid reflux can lead to much greater problems. I had a colonoscopy scheduled and had, on a whim, an endoscopy scheduled at the same time. The endoscopy revealed a four inch Barrett's esophagus segment with low grade dysplasia, and a small hiatel hernia. They waited about six mos and did another endoscopy and found some high grade dysplasia.... a route towards esophagial cancer. I have had five radio frequency ablation treatments. These are all things you have to have looked into.

i have been facing acidity problem for years and wanna get ride of it. kindly suggest something in this regard.
