Gastritis: Esophagitis and erosive antral gastritis is usually caused by excess acid secretion, and is related to stress. The medications will usually help but to not "cure" the problem. Try to identify the stress causes, and see your healthcare provider to refer you to a specialist. Certain bacteria (Heliobacter) can make this condition continue, so another treatment may benefit you.

Possible Causes: Sounds like you have had a series of endoscopic studies and likely biopsy studies to rule out infection with H. Pylori, Barrett Disease, and Eosinophilic Gastritis. Consider serum Gastrin level, parietal cell antibodies and B12 level. No antiarthritic meds incl. aspirin. No Tums because of acid rebound(looks likes acid is being suppressed) Take Nexium (esomeprazole) in early morn Consider Nexium (esomeprazole)+Carafate+Pepcid
