I just realized I have gastritis. I have had it for a couple weeks now and confident it's from my alcohol abuse. I am now going to stay away from alcohol for a while but was wondering how long it will last. I did purchase some antacids today but I haven't noticed a change.

Gastritis is usually a situation after a GI illness. It usually occurs when the stomach isn't getting enough food--Gastro-itis...swelling of the internal stomach. I recommedn the BRATT diet. Banannas, Rice, Applesauce, tea and toast. Bland diet for 3 days....also, some Omeprazole (generic Prevecid) may help. Your stomach is irritated. Go bland, with alot of fluids.
