How Can Gastritis And Acid Reflux Be Treated?
Hi there, I have been diagnosed with mild (albeit it doesn t feel mild) gastritis, which is being treated by Rabeprazole which now seem to be having little effect. I have this week had a tummy bug which has aggravated the issue and I feel like I m burning inside and have lots of wind in the chest and sternum. Is there anything I can take prescribed or otherwise or is this a life condition? Thank you
