Thanks for your quiry. You are suffering from alcoholic gastritis.Gastritis occurs when the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed. Moderate to heavy drinking is a common cause of alcoholic gastritis, which often appears as one of many possible symptoms of hangover. In effect, the more a person drinks the worse this condition becomes. Over time, gastritis symptoms can occur when eating any type of food or even from drinking water.
Treatment include antacid , H2 blocker or PPI (eg. pantoprazole) for a definite period. Avoid spicy oily food and essentially quit ALCOHOL.
