Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Antral gastritis can be due to increased acid production,stress ,bacterial infection,etc. Its important to find the cause an tretat the condition accordingly.Nevertheless, good eating habits will help reduce the symptoms.I usually advice my patients with similar symptoms to:
1.Drink plenty of water
2.Avoid oily foodstuffs,caffeine containing products like tea,coffee and aerated drinks.
3.Have light meals at shorter intervals than having heavy meals at long intervals.
4.Fix the timings of your meals especially have food early in the night atleast 1-2 hours before you sleep.Do adequate regular exercise.
5.I also advice antacids like tab.pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning to decrease the acid levels.
6.If there is still no relief in symptoms, I suggest you have an appointment with a gastroenterologist to find out the exact cause and ask for his suggestion about getting an endoscopy done.
Kindly rate my answer if you find it useful.Feel free to ask any further queries.Take care.
