Rekool: Has he been tested for H pylori-a bacteria that can cause gastritis? If you do not take antibiotics ( you need at least 2) it will not go away. So check for H pylori, consider endoscopy to check nothing else,check for food intolerances: gluten /soy tomatoes/ milk that can happen late in life , check gallbladder/liver /pancreas( sonongram) , check for thyroid/ Diabetes F/U with doc/urgent care
