I've been having this chronic dry mouth and really bad breath, so my general physician suggested an Upper G.I Endoscopy and some other tests. Everything else like stool and urine tests came back normal, but the Endoscopy showed I've got mild antral gastritis. I went to see a gastroenterologist and took the prescribed meds for about three weeks, but sadly, there's been no improvement. Can you recommend any medicines or treatments specifically for mild antral gastritis? I'm really looking for some relief here.

I've been having some issues with stomach and stool cleaning for about a week now. I went to the hospital and the doctor recommended a syrup called Gudlax Plus. Do you think this syrup is the right choice for me, and when would be the best time to take it?

Gudlax Plus syrup, containing a combination of liquid paraffin, methylpolysiloxane, and magnesium hydroxide, is commonly used to treat constipation and promote bowel regularity; take 1-2 tablespoons of Gudlax Plus syrup at bedtime or as directed by your doctor, with a full glass of water, to help soften and clear stool, and ensure adequate hydration to facilitate its effectiveness.

I've been feeling a hard lump in my upper stomach and having trouble passing stool, only going a little at a time. My weight has gone up, my stomach feels bloated, and my face looks puffy. What could be causing this? I had surgery to remove my womb two years ago could that be related to these stomach issues?
