Specializes in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics

Gastritis: Gastritis could be secondary to reflux, certain types of food, medications, allergies, as well as H.pylori. Sometimes even if we cant find a cause, it can be treated with anti-reflux meds and subsides.

A member asked:

History with h pylori, since been teated twice and negative for it. Still after every endoscopy I have "minimal gastritis " but was not mentioned because my main issue is acid reflux. I read the report. Does gastritis correlate with acid reflux?
