It sounds like you have pretty bad gastritis! That is a high dose of two drugs that both decrease acid production, and while can be used together it is not that common, especially for a long period of time. Some follow-up after three months to decide if both drugs are still needed is advisable. I would think someone has looked at your stomach (called an EGD). These meds have side effects over time
