Hi,
If you are having chronic gastritis,follow the following instructions -
- Do regular physical exercise for at least 30 mins on five times a week
- Avoid smoking(try stopping it)
- Avoid alcohol (try avoiding it,at least empty stomach)
- Avoid spicy food
- Avoid oily food
- Don't have heavy food in night
- Try having you proper schedule(get up at proper time in morning and sleep at proper time)
- Try yoga
- Try relieving your stress
If it does not go after all that then you might go for an endoscopy just to be safe,so as to rule out any pathology. But follow the above instructions as the chances of pathology is very less.

Hi Puneet, I am doing the steps you mentioned in many times but in few days when i dont have proper sleep or not ate at time or during some stress.. i am feeling very pressure on stomach and pain in stomach for 1 to 2 hrs in mid night..I will wake up in mid night and burp for 10 to 12 times and have to walk for 1 hr to sleep again. I will get sour taste during burping and i feel little pain in lungs too. I feel my digestive system is not in good condition..i need to wait for long time to get digest when i eat non-veg or spicy food. Can you suggest any home remedy for this or any tablet or syrups to drink which can solve my stomach pains in night and not to disturb my sleep. Thanks Kranthi

Hi,
You will have to leave whatever is troubling you ,specially spicy,oily non veg food,alcohol in night and smoking atleast in the night time. You may also have to stawl after your dinner and try and have your dinner by evening 7 p.m. May be you are in your office but nothing is more important than you yourself.
You can have tablet rabeprazole twice daily before breakfast and before dinner. if you are having this for a long time you may be given anti h pylori treatment.
