My endoscopy in september 22 showed helicobacter and mild chronic gastritis. I took antibiotics course with ppi for 14 days. Initially symptoms got better before returning again. In march 23 I had another endoscopy which confirmed helicobacter was eradicated but mild chronic inactive gastritis still remained. I am taking pantoprazole 40 mg per day but still get stomach pain on and off. I get phases when I get little to no symptoms for days and if I am lucky enough for weeks but then something I eat or increase in stress the gastritis will flare up despite being on ppi. How can I heal gastritis that seems to have been caused by helicobacter? How long does it usually take to be free of gastritis after successful helicobacter treatment can stress cause gastritis?
