GASTRITIS : Pickle juice can be rather acidic and a large ingestion may have caused gastritis. I recommend a bland gluten free diet for 1week and Zantac (ranitidine). If symptoms persist you need to be examined and have labs checked and stool for H pylori the ulcer causing bacteria.

Pickle juice: first off - why?? - typical pickle juice contains water, salt, calcium chloride, vinegar and some flavoring like dill. It was once thought to be a treatment for exercise associated muscle cramps but a study showed no difference. Drinking too much can cause gastric upset, excessive flatulence, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Thus your symptoms
