Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Since you are a diagnosed case of antral gastritis in spite of taking Nexpro-RD it indicates that your problem may be rooted in other causes which we should consider as follow and have solution for you to stop medications.
Vodka and smoking are the most important instigating or enhancing factors in causing gastritis and hence you have to stop both strictly if you want gastritis to get healed and avoid recurrence.
Ultrasonography to see for any mass in pancreas, gall stones and so on as these are are known to give gastritis recurrently. If required a confirmatory CT scan of the upper abdomen is needed.
Tests of blood, urine and stool.
Review upper GI ENdoscopy needs to be done regularly and may need additional treatment in the form of antacid every three hours,.
Anxiety, stress and other psychological conditions are also known to be instigating or enhancing factors hence should be controlled.
All these things together will give you a long lasting positive response.
