Hi,

Antral gastritis common causes is Bacterial ( h pylori ). Then there are more infective cause which are a little less common (viral,tuberculosis) . Smoking,alcoholic,excessive drug intake might be other causes as well,or due to any foreign body intake.

I would advice you
- Abstinence from alcohol,
- Abstinence from smoking(if you are having it),
- Don't stress your self with excess workload or responsibilities if you think you have too much of responsibility; try and share that a little,
- Reduce the amount of drugs if you take them commonly as it might be due to excessive drug intake (pain killers,iron tablets,potassium supplements)

I would like to tell you some more measures(common to treat all kinds of gastritis)

1) Reduce spicy food and excessive salty food
2) Reduce oily food
3) Have your meals at a proper interval
4) Keep some time between your dinner and before you go to bed
5) Walk regularly at least 5 times a week for 30-40 mins brisk walk
6) Have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetable
7) Have plenty of water

You can take a antacid tablet whenever you have pain,and if the report suggests any kind of infective cause then it is important to treat that infection. But if you have blood in stools or pain radiating to some other place,or you feel excessive nervousness or you sweat excessively then do consult a doctor.

Feel free to ask more questions.
