Suggest Treatment For Gastritis During Flight Journey

I fly a lot. This year alone I ve done over 140 flights. Several weeks back a burning developed in my stomach. Minor. And then has progressively turned into an unbearable burning that radiates under my ribs, to my back, and chest. It gets worse when I fly. Especially upon landing. Once we land it calms down and lingers. I assume gastritis but have nothing to back up the claim. Had an MRI with and W/O contrast and results were unremarkable. With as much as I travel this is killing me. Any advice would be appreciated.
