Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Pylokit is a combination of medicines to be taken for gastritis and possible H.pylori infection in the stomach. It is taken as 1 kit daily for 7 days.
It is possible to feel little uneasy when you start the medication but it is not a concern and will not cause any problems.
A diet for stomach problems like gastritis should avoid foods which cause irritation of lining in stomach and acid production.
You can take milk and diet rich in proteins. Taking milk and curds in regular quantities are good for your health and will reduce your gastritis.
Fruits can be increased in your diet, one fruit in morning and evening between meals.
You can take any diet which is healthy vegetarian or non vegetarian but please keep in mind to avoid spices and chilly.
Also please try and eat small meals regularly every 4 hours and avoid long periods of fasting.
Please stay away from alcohol, coffee and smoking.
Eating too much oily food must be restricted.
Home food cooked with mild amount of spices is best for you.
Do not take any oral pain killers like paracetamol on empty stomach.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,

Thanks for your answer but my doctor has advised me to take it for 15 days .
Brief Answer:
15 days treatment has slightly better outcomes
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
I have noticed that your doctor has given treatment for 15 days and there is nothing wrong with it.
In a research done internationally of the effectiveness of 7 days treatment and 15 days treatment, it has been found that 70 percent of patients are treated after 7 days treatment and 75 percent are treated after 15 days treatment.
Since there is only 4 percent increase in treatment rates after 15 days treatment, most doctors give only 7 days treatment initially. Some doctors give 15 days treatment which is also correct.
Hope your query is answered.
