A member asked:

I was diagnosed with severe gastritis from nsaids made worse by antibiotics. taking prilosec 2x day and bland diet. how long for pain to subside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be a while: Could be as short as a fee days but sometimes it can take time for the stomach to heal, on the order of a couple of weeks. As long as you are slowly (or quickly) improving, that is the most important thing.
