I definitely have my fair share of gas. I thought I had gastritis at one time, but it turned out to be GERD.
I'd get some severe stomach aches, especially with the spicier food I ate.
Since then, I've cut way back on spicy food and started taking generic Nexium that I can buy from SAMS Club for next to nothing. I take one every other day, and now I'm as good as new.
It sucks getting old, LOL.

I haven't experienced it but I have a friend who does. Gas and Gastritis is a very serious thing and can be very uncomfortable and it affects our daily life. I think the best thing is to consult a doctor for better treatment.
I sometimes get gastritis, especially when I eat foods that can trigger gastritis. When the conditions become discomforting, I take Pantoprazole .
Same, but it's kept under control now that I know what the pain is as soon as I drop some acid reflux medicine (forgot the prescription name). I rarely have to take it, but when I do, I know I have to double the dose for the pain to go away. I can catch it just in time now, now that I have the medicine, so that it doesn't cause esophageal damage, as it did when I first got diagnosed with a laryngoscopy.
Side note on the laryngoscopy, I didn't know what medicine they were giving the people going before me, but it would knock them out in seconds. Then, it was my turn. Injected with the stuff. I'm still fully conscious. They wait 10 minutes. Then, they administer another dose. Still awake. Another 10 minutes pass, and the doctor is too cautious to give any more medicine. Turns out that the medicine was an injectable benzodiazepine, which I have a very high tolerance to; I don't even think 2 or even 5 more injections at that dose would've put me out or relaxed me. So, I had to gag through the camera being shoved down my throat.
That experience must have been horrible. I can relate the part with the anesthetic taking too long to work, its the same case for me. I was literally feeling the knife cut me and had to make them stop, in the second incidence the doc had forgotten to use anesthesia at all, where lignocaine jelly was to be applied and I had a horrible procedure done with a probe deep inside my viscera without any anesthesia!Same, but it's kept under control now that I know what the pain is as soon as I drop some acid reflux medicine (forgot the prescription name).

Just for the information, for food pipe/stomach evaluation, it is oesophageo-gastro-duodenoscopy or OGD in short, that is used and for laryngeal (throat) evaluation it is laryngoscopy.
I have gastritis and take medication for it.
I’ve had it few times over the years and have been hospitalized for gastritis. I also have gerd on a daily basis, but I don’t get it as long as I take medication for it.
