You will need to give up all trigger foods ie
Fried foods
Pop
Caffeine
Alcohol
Citrus fruit
Sugar
Garlic
Onion
Tomatoes etc
Try the acid watchers diet and there is a gastritis cookbook, i know what you are going through, its hell but giving up trigger foods does help.
gave up all those a long time ago 
Hi Toria, I suffered terrible it go so bad i had endoscopy, i have Gerd, im one 1 stomach tablet a day, the doc started me on 40mg tablet but it basically made me worse. She dropped it to 20mg tablet and im like new woman thank God.
i tried them they gave me horrendous side effects, so doing it through diet, i have the occasional day were tummy etc is normal so dont want to use meds for hormone problems, plus they arent good long term x
