You should take proton pump inhibitors.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
You should use proton pump inhibitor for gastritis.
I prescribe Rabeprazole 20mg twice daily till symptoms subside.
For patients with constipation, I add prokinetc agent Levosulpiride.
Stop all medication that you are taking till now.
If the pain still persists, you should consult your doctor and get an Ultrasound abdomen and Upper GI endoscopy.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
