Good day everyone.

I am a nursing student. My ultimate goal is to be a travel nurse.

I am happily married for over 12 years and have 3 children: ages 6, 4, and 2. Family is the most important thing in the world and I want to help families work out problems so they do not have to be torn apart.

If your family is as important to you as mine is to me, get the help you need. If you do not like my advice, I respect that but look for someone that works for your needs.

Your family is worth it!

I was just diagnosed this morning with it. How long does it take to go away? (link)
I cant give you a perfect answer because everyone is different. Gastritis has a number of causes and for most of these causes, once you begin your treatment plan (generally an antacid) you should start to feel relief pretty soon. Avoid spicy foods, sit up for a while after eating, dont eat too late in the evening, follow doctors orders and you should be feeling better.

Some causes require antibiotics while others require vitamin B shots. This is why I can't be too specific... but generally, it doesn't take long, it just may seem like it if you are in pain.

A full "cure" can take a while because whatever damage may have been done will have to heal. You may have to be on medication for a while even after you feel better to be certain any irritation (or ulceration) has completely healed.

Best of luck.
