Hi. Thanks for your query. As you have been diagnosed by endoscopy and must be on a correct line of treatment, there must be other reasons which are delaying your recovery. It takes usually 1 to 3 weeks to be totally asymptomatic. The causes in your case can be :: * Diet should have been soft and bland- to be equally distributed into 4 equal parts of your daily requirements * STRESS - this is the biggest contributor. Any activity/ thoughts which increase stress and anxiety will increase your pain. You may request your Doctor to add on such medicines which help control this. *Sufficient sleep and rest * Habits- like smoking or tobacco in any form, alcohol ,certain beverages all you know of increase the problem. * Knowing that yo have gastritis , itself increases the stress. Follow all this and you may be fine soon
