Probably Acute Gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in
The information provided suggests you are a well read person

It seems you have developed drug induced and stress related gastritis, as is evident from gastroscopy

Flagyl, Iron, Testosterone, Aspirin and alcohol all are known to cause bad gastritis

I would suggest you avoid all medicines which are not essential for you

Take Zegarid twice a day before breakfast and before dinner

Add a good probiotic twice a day

Liquid Sucralfate 2 tsf every four hours

Take bland diet, avoid alcohol and manage stress levels

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern
