It sounds like you need to heal you gastritis first. My gastroenterologist put me a pantaprozole for that. BUT do not stay on it beyond the short term 2-4 weeks max. Then you have to heal your digestion. What I found worked for me was:

1. Digestive bitters before a meal;

2. Betain HCI Pepsin at beginning a a meal (250 mg-1,500mg max...go up a pill day, then back up if start to feel that Gerd feeling and stay at that level then if no "reflux."

3. If you digest you food better, you should not get gastritis again.

4. You will avoid the dreadful havoc being on a Proton Pump Inhibitor continuously. Never meant or intended for that.

5. Eat earlier last meal, before sundown preferably and at least 4 hours before bedtime.

6. Avoid alcohol.

7. Avoid any added sugars ever.

8. Avoid processed foods. To many poisons. How many of the ingredients do you recognize the names of?

9. If des[erate a teaspoon of Bicarbonate of soda (if possible aluminum free) if a glass of water. Good luck.

ese, can you elaborate on the digestive bitters? Never heard of this. Also, the Bestaine HCL Pepsin. Is this supplement approved by your doctor? I was on Esomeprazole 40 for a year and half. I recently stopped it because I developed severe constipation and constipation can be one of the side effects. I've been through the ringer with the constipation. My doctor had me on a high dosage of Miralax everyday and I could not tolerate it. Now I am taking a magnesium supplement and doing much better. I have adjusted my diet regarding the Gerd and I am managing fairly well without taking anything for it, but I can feel the reflux in my throat at night and know that could cause cancer long term.
