Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows :
1.You are reporting that you have used nexium for gastritis for 3 month and it was effective.
After three months you have the same symptoms.
I need to know if you have done biopsy for H.Pylori infection?
2.The main cause of persistent symptoms even after nexium use is gastritis due to H.pylori infection.
This is why I suggest to do breath test for H.pylori and if it results positive than you need to start antibiotic drugs plus nexium.
Meantime I suggest to avoid NSAID'S drugs, alcohol, smoking and energy drinks.
I suggest too start using antacids like gaviscon it will help to reduce stomach acidity.
Hope it was helpful to you.

I used to skip my break fast earlier and continued it for around 2 years until i faced abdominal pain, acidity.Do you think it was the cause for this problem?
I do not drink any liquids such as tea, coffee, carbonated water.But i have observed something that triggers my condition.Whenever i have something which has wheat content in it the next day i suffer from stomach pain? Do you think it is something i need to remove from my diet?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My other medical background include sinusitis and recently diagnosed with PCOS.

Hi back,
My opinion is that you may have developed gluten intolerance and eating food reach in gluten (reach in wheat flour) may cause some sort of indigestion.
This is why I strongly recommend a gluten free diet. You should check on food labels and consume only gluten free foods.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
