Hello doctor,
I have had stomach pain for 3 years. I went to endoscopy many times the doctor diagnosed gastritis and epigastric inflammation. I was hospitalized for 1 week, the doctor sent me home to take medicine, but after 1 month, the pain returned. So the doctor asked me how to definitively cure gastritis? I have such a stomachache but I still gain weight? I eat normally. Please advise, thank you.
