Please read this. I apologize for how long it is, just trying to give good detail.  

I was diagnoised with acute gastritis in 2015. The pain comes and it goes due to the use of too many Nsaids when getting a back tooth removed from the dentist- I am 26 years old, a little over weight and have just recently been dropped from my Mom's health insurance in October of 2016. So my only option is to go the emergency room when something happens to me, and as most without insurance know? It can be a HEFTY bill, perscriptions included. I got my first strike of gastritis in June, 2015 and immediatly went on a diet- of bland foods, such as plain oatmeal, activia low-fat vanilla yogurt, apple sauce, brown rice, water, apple juice, and a little honey with the plain oatmeal. That is pretty much it. I have had severe flares. One in June 2015, (first one, I believe as stated above.) April of 2016, and now June, 2017. The flare ups only happen when I begin to slip up and take Nsaids again, and eat fatty foods when taking nsaids and when that happens? I go back on my diet of plain food, no Nsaids, and take 1 24 hr release Nexium a day until 14 weeks are over, slowing down as I run out and eating my activia yogurt at the same time, 2 a day for the probiotics and DGL tablets that help coat the lining of your stomach. This flare up is a little different from the last because now, not only am I getting pain in my left side (flank) and under left breast, for the first 2 days- but now on my third day, today is June 3, 2017 I am having right side pain under right breast towards the middle a little, rather thank right flank pain and it feels like the normal symptoms I've had before with gastritis but now on the right which I do not understand why On June 2nd, before the right upper abdominal pain started and it was just left side pain? I went to the emergency room and told them I have had acute gastritis flare ups before that healed up and got better, so they hooked me up to an IV, took my blood, a urine sample, and did a CT scan with BOTH contrast and no contrast to make sure I did not have kidney stones, infection OR infection of any kind-- and my doctor said EVERYTHING came back normal, my kidneys, liver and pancreas all looked good, etc. So she thinks it is a gastritis flare up mixed with my anxiety. But I don't know, because I have never had right side pain with it before. It is a lil intense, burning, keep on burping/with hot feeling in chest/stomach? I am extremely scared. E.R said, blood, urine--- all good. Someone PLEASE help me and tell me this is normal for gastritis sometimes. I am really scared and my anxiety does not help. And I cannot afford to keep going to the emergency room when they said that everything was okay yesterday even though I did not have the right pain/burning yesterday at E.R. and I do not have health insurance or any way of getting it to do further testing with gastritis specialist, etc. All I can really do is take the OTC Nexium that I will start in the morning, 24 hr release and the DGL tablets for stomach lining and a plain food diet, does this sound normal? To have gastritis pain on left side and right side, but never at the same time? Kinda radiates back and forth. The first 2 days was left, and now it is the third day on the right, under right breast and the burning goes into my throat and radiates down a little. l will start the OTC Nexium June 4th, 2017 in the morning. Any help would be so appreciated. Especially for my anxiety.
