Gastritis is a medical term for inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It means that white blood cells move into the wall of the stomach as a response to some type of injury. Gastritis has many underlying causes, from infection with the bacterium H. pylori, bile reflux, or excessive consumption of alcohol or certain foods or drugs like aspirin.
I was on Aleve for a year for fibro pain I now have gastritis from taking it. I have terrible gnawing burning stomach and chest pain, excessive gas, burping, stomach bloating. I honestly can't stand the pain. Is there any help? How long will this last?
I got mine from advil. From my research it can take up to 18-24 months to feel better and a couple of years to fully heal. Eat bland and try to keep your stress level down.
