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.
