I have gastritis and GERD. Can you suggest a long-term treatment option?
Asked by Female, 43 · 1 month ago
Long-term treatment of gastritis and GERD often involves taking a daily proton pump inhibitor, such as pantoprazole or omeprazole, under your doctor?s supervision. It is essential to combine this with lifestyle changes, such as eating smaller, more frequent meals, stopping smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding trigger foods like caffeine or alcohol. Regular follow-up with your doctor is advised to review symptoms and adjust treatment if needed.
