How do you completely cure gastritis? my doctor is having me take nexium (esomeprazole) but i am in debilitating pain every time i eat or even drink water. he said i have an abundance of stomach acid. what do i do?

See GI doctor: When your problem is not controlled by the usual measures, you need to consult a GI specialist who will likely take a look at the upper GI tract with a scope . H pylori infection also needs be ruled out but there is some suggestion of obstruction at the esophagus as well. Do not delay.

Dyspepsia: General measures will help your gastritis . Do not eat past 7 pm, alkaline diet, reduce consumption of process foods. get an endoscopy to rule out infection or inflammation ; drink water. try elimination diet program reduce stress though meditation relaxation good luck

Stick with it.: If your pain after eating or drinking is truly due to excess stomach acid, the Nexium (esomeprazole) should begin getting it under control within a few days. If you are not starting to get any relief within a week, you should return to your doctor for further workup and treatment. In that setting, you may benefit from an endoscopy or other tests for diagnostic purposes. Good luck.
