Hi, I too have Gastritis but PPI's don't help, neither does Famotidine. I have not heard of this new drug but it sounds promising. Please can you let me know how you get on with it and if it helps your Gastritis, as I may ask my GP if I can try it for my symptoms. Hope it works well for you. Regards.
