Brief Answer:
Possible gastritis again
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
Seems like you are having again another gastritis. Even if you have treated that one before, you still need to be careful of spicy foods and foods that hurt your stomach, because you are more prone of having problems with stomach.
So the treatment its the same: take Nexium 20-40 mg once/day for at least 2 weeks, maximum 12 weeks. Full treatment of Gastritis is 10 weeks to get healed completely.
Be carefull with goods, alcohol, stress, ect.
I don't think you need to do again the gastrocscopy or the testing for helicobacter pilory, because the treatment will be the same.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Yes, Rabeprazole has the same effect as Nexium.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thank you for your follow-up question.
Yes, you can take Rabeprazole because it may be cheaper. It will be the effective as Nexium.
Gastritis may come from stress mostly, from taking medications that damage the stomach like Ibuprofen and all the NSAIDS (non steroidal antiinflamatory drugs), from foods that are spicy, from alcohol use, ect.
The risk it is that if left untreated it may develop into an ulcer and if you have an ulcer for many years then it may develop in a stomach cancer.
You are treating it though. Take the PPI (medicines like Nexium or Rabeprazole are called PPI- proton pump inhibitor) regulatory for 8-12 weeks, avoid foods that may damage your stomach, avoid medicines mentioned above and repeat the endoscopy once in 1-2 years for check-up.
