A member asked:

I was given pump inhibitor omperazole for 6mth high dose. then had a endoscope which said i have chronic gastritis. (with no risk factors), why?

HMM: Gastritis means that you have an irritation of the stomach wall...This is not that uncommon. I would suggest that you follow up with your gastroenterologist and follow his advice re the appropriate treatment of this usually moderately benign condition.
