Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have H pylori infection.  It can be in dormant stage. It can again be activated and produces symptoms of gastritis.  So you should go for H pylori test.  If it is positive then you should take a complete course of antibiotics. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
