Hi all, I was diagnosed with gastritis about a month ago and have been on Pantoprazole and diet management (I've had to figure out this diet on my own.) Occasionally I've had some reddish-brown output over the past month. Two days ago it was redder than usual. I've had pain for three days. I have a call into my gastro and am waiting for a callback. I've been doing a lot of my own googling since I don't get a whole lot of direction from this doc. I want to know if this is chronic and if it's caused by H. pylori (apparently a large number of cases are caused by this bacteria.) Has anyone had experience with chronic gastritis and would you share your experience? Thanks so much. Another day of pretending at work that I'm not in pain.
