What Causes Increased ESR Levels When Suffering From Gastritis?

Question: Hi,
Currently I am suffering stomach pain with gastritis and some time back bone pain also happen. I visited the Gastroenterologist in XXXXXXX and he asked me for test. I believe the doctor because previously I gone through treatment from him and it cured me.
Just to curious to know about the ESR. I am seeing my ESR increased to 20 from few long time like 7 to 8 months. Is something I need to worry about it?
He asked for test of Vitamin B12, Ultrasound Abdomen & Pelvis, Liver Function test, Thyroid Stimulating, Complete blood count with ESR, Glucose
When I search in Google, I found lot of things which scared me.

Hi Dr. Ajit,
Thank you for your response and help !!!
This really helps me and but worried if ESR will not be the early sign of bigger thing.
I take alcohol very occasionally but I eat chicken lot like Grill Chicken, Tandoor Chicken. I have very weakness on this chicken items. I will stop the alcohol and reduce the chicken as well.
Is there any medicine or home made remedy like any type of fruit which I can take regularly for Gas ?
Already I scheduled the appointment with my doctor tomorrow and I will let you know the medicine he suggests. Still I have pain in my stomach so I am little worried about it.

Brief Answer:
Need not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in again
ESR values of 20 are of no problem
Avoid Non Veg as it will aggravate even though if it is not responsible for it
I would suggest you avoid any liquid from outside and take only fresh food
Banana has been found to be of help in patients with Acidity
Eno helps in emergency, otherwise medications are the best
Do write back once you see your doctor
