<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. As you have been diagnosed by endoscopy and must be on a correct line of treatment, there must be other reasons which are delaying your recovery. It usually takes 1 to 3 weeks to be totally asymptomatic. The causes in your case can be ::* Diet should have been soft and bland- to be equally distributed into 4 equal parts of your daily requirements* STRESS - this is the biggest contributor. Any activity/ thoughts which increase stress and anxiety will increase your pain. You may request your Doctor to add on such medicines which help control this.*Sufficient sleep and rest* Habits-like smoking or tobacco in any form, alcohol, certain beverages all you know of increase the problem. * Knowing that to have gastritis, itself increases the stress. Follow all this and you may be fine soon
