Gastritis: You may have developed an inflamed stomach lining. Reduce alcohol and use omepresole 40 mg a day and ask me after a week.

Gastritis: It is very likely that you have developed an alcohol induced gastritis. I would advise no further alcohol until you see your md about this. In the mean time take some mylanta. Avoid spicy foods. Call your pcp in the morning.

Gastritis: Probably from alcohol, aspirin, or ibuprofen. Stay away from all of these and there is a good chance your stomach will heal. If the symptoms continue or worsen see a doctor. If you start to vomit blood go to the er immediately. Pepcid (famotidine) is otc i believe.
