Gastritis Support Group
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.

For the throat stuff - hoarseness, coughing, phlegm etc... Have you read up about LPR - Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease?
Like the broken record that I am I will refer you to Jamie Koufman's online info on LPR & her book " Dropping Acid".
It is reflux for sure.. they call that the silent type.
Your hiatal hernia makes you more prone to that issue. it tends to happen over night and then your throat is sore and mucousy all day. You need to use the sleep wedge. Did you get one? You do need to manage that issue and try and stop the refluxing.
