Are Gaviscon And Omeprazole The Right Medication For Gastritis?

Hi. I am an 18 year old woman. I was in the hospital today and diagnosed with gastritis. Ive had tummy aches for a month now and they have gotten very bad in the past week. I was given Omeprazole by a walkin clinic doctor a few days ago because they thought i had an ulcer, i was told to take this medication and hopefully itd get better in a few weeks. I ended up going to the hospital because the pain was awful and they gave me a medicine to coat my stomach. I was supposed to buy Maalox over the counter but the pharmacist said they only had Gaviscon original. I bought this and I am wondering if it will be good enough of a combo with the omeprazole to help my stomach get better. I am having a lot of trouble sleeping and sitting in general and was wondering if I would be able to vape marijuana as well to help with the stomach aches and nausea.

Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track. Avoid spicy foods. You can also try over the counter syrups like sucralfate for symptomatic relief.
