I'd like to add... there is an older treatment for gastritis...
it is called Carafate liquid.
I am unsure if it is still used, but it used to be given to patients on steroids. It coats the lining of the stomach, to prevent steroid damage.

The use of this product has dwindled because it can affect absorption of other drugs. But for people who don't use many drugs for other reasons, it can help with acute gastritis.
You can discuss this with your doctor.
