Gastritis for a few months.

2026-07-30 12:06:22
Hello, I have had gastritis symptoms for a few months that are under some control with ppi meds like Pantocid, fexoclue, vonalong and digene. But gastroenterologist has suggested an expensive endoscopy.  Is there any other cheaper way to diagnose for suspected pathogens that may be causing this issue?
