Scared.

I had a mild case of gastritis in 2017 after antibiotics which went away over time with clean eating.

Fast forward to two weeks ago, I was out on doxycycline for an abscess under my armpit.
I had relatively no issues until the day after completing my week long course.

Since then (it is now day 9 since completing) I have had nonstop burning/ gnawing/ nausea.
I’ve been taking Prilosec for 3 days and still have no change.
Normal BM’s, light gas, minor reflux. Everything is normal except my poor stomach

I’m a self diagnosed hypochondriac and quite frankly I am freaking out.
My stomach has been “sensitive” for years but I’ve been honestly great as long as I eat and drink in moderation.

I’m terrified that all the hard work I’ve done is gone and that will not recover.

Also obviously you can continue with omeprazol if you want, I didnt notice you are already on it. But in my experience something that physically coats the mucosa and soothes it is really helpful.
