Hello,

I was diagnosed with Gastritis on Tuesday last week and have been taking ranitidine but it is getting gradually worse. I am seeing my GP tomorrow but I wondered if anyone has been through gastritis? It hurts in my back (which my GP told me was very possible in some people) but I googled before I went to the docs and the search results scared me silly. I feel like something is stuck in my throat and my neck feels full of air. I am also burping a lot. I feel the gnawing burning pain in my back and it keeps moving around. I am getting myself into a state and trying not to Google my worst fears. My poop had black flecks in it this morning and of course I freaked out even more. Anyone have experience of any of this?
