Has anyone had chemical gastritis?

So I thought I'd had heartburn for the past few months, but a recent scope revealed it is actually chemical gastritis. The doctor has prescribed medication to resolve the issue.

Has anyone else had this issue?

What was the outcome?

    What does the doc mean by chemical gastritis? What chemicals have you been ingesting (chuckle)?

    I mean, gastritis is gastritis, right? It's irritation / inflammation of the gastric mucosa. So once the meds get it resolved, you should be fine.

    I have gastritis but my Dr. didn't prescribe any thing for it. Just gave me a list of foods to avoid. What meds should be prescribed ?
