A member asked:

An endoscopy revealed inflammation in my stomach's lining. i don't have acid reflux, just discomfort. antacids safe? any natural alternatives?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's the cause?: You're describing "gastritis." Stomach inflammation may derive from both acid & non-acid causes, slow emptying of the stomach, H.pylori infection, atrophic & hypersecretory problems, indiscrete use of NSAID's &/or alcohol, to name a few. Can't recommend "natural remedies" since cause of gastritis was not defined in your question. Antacids or acid blockers are a good starting point for treatment.
