I've been struggling with what I think is erosive gastritis for over a year now, and it's really been a constant battle with different stomach issues popping up every day. Is this something that can actually be cured? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to give lasting relief. Should I be worried about this going on for so long?

Erosive gastritis can be treated and managed effectively with the right medications and lifestyle changes. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole or esomeprazole are commonly prescribed to reduce stomach acid and promote healing of the stomach lining. Antacids like calcium carbonate or aluminum hydroxide can also help provide relief from symptoms. It is important to follow a proper diet, avoid triggers like spicy foods and alcohol, and reduce stress to help improve the condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
