A member asked:

What is a good pill for gastritis i have tried omeprazole, dexilant (dexlansoprazole) and prevacid they help but not enough help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet: If medication are not enough you have to consider if the foods you are eating are making the problem worse. Common foods like coffee, tomato sauce, orange juice, etc. Are acid and can make symptoms of gastritis or reflux worse.
