Suggest Treatment For Gastritis And Upper GI Symptoms
10 months ago I suffered stress induced IBS for at least 6 months. Consequently, my upper GI was later affected but seems the IBS subsided. Now I have what seems to be gastritis and upper Gi symptoms that are getting progressively worse with a two week menstrual bleed.
Im having difficulty bringing it under control with otc antacids, sedatives, and diet change.
It was suggested to have an Endoscopy and check my hormones to determine if I am going through menopause.
what do you think?
