hi
risendronate or actonel as you called will cause gastritis again when u take it
it is a known side effect
what i would have suggested under the circumstances and
what you can do
is to start a proton pump inhibitor
like omeprazole 20 mg before breakfast
it should help reduce the gastritis
syr sucralfate in addition would be a good addition
but better avoid it as far as possible
best of luck
