I had previously experienced gastritis. @D J My gastroenterologist (GI) opined that the only way to be certain that it had resolved was to have another endoscopy; however, as I no longer had any symptoms, I have not yet done so. One thing that the GI suggested to me that was of great assistance was sucralfate. I took it prior to each meal, and even now, I still take it before consuming spicy food or alcoholic beverages. Apparently, it provides a protective barrier to the gastric mucosa, including any ulcers, so that they can heal. #Gut Health
