: Would expect that the gastritis would start to remit by this point, but as we get older, it takes longer to fully heal, and if you have a co-morbidity such as diabetes, the process would be even more prolonged. It is possible that your medications may need adjustment or revision. Talk to your gastroenterologist and make a joint decision.
