I had gastritis which was cured by the 5 day medicine course later after 10-15 days i again had problem where i had lost my appetite and not feeling like rating with stomach fullness which started on 21st october and i am still having this issue in between i also had acid reflux problem which is now ok after doctor gave medicine but i still have loss of appetite. My endoscopy reports are normal but there is some infection in my stomach still but i dont have any pain only loss of appetite and while i sleep i just have little heaviness in between pther than that i font have any other symptoms. I have been taking domstal and kabvie tablets since then
Endoscopy was done on 5th nov and the it turned to be positive a day after it was done, so doctor gave me antibiotics almox 500 and lovoflox 500 which i have started 4 days before.
I want to ask that can this swelling cause such loss of appetite?
When will i regain my appetite as i just have lost my urge to eat also no taste to tongue.

Lots of antibiotics is one of the cause of loss of appetite.
Add probiotic like curd, buttermilk, kanzi made of vegetables n rice. It add b12 as well repair gut mucosa which is damaged due to procedure n antibiotics.
Polybion lc 10ml after dinner for 4 weeks to reform gut mucosa.

Yes, the inflammation (gastritis) and infection in your stomach can definitely cause loss of appetite, early fullness, and loss of taste/urge to eat — even if you have no pain and endoscopy looks "normal" (mild gastritis often appears subtle on endoscopy).
Next Steps
Eat 5–6 small meals (1 roti + dal, half bowl khichdi) — don’t force full plate.
Avoid tea/coffee, spicy, oily, raw salads for 2 weeks.
Add ginger + lemon water (morning) — stimulates digestion.
Walk 10–15 min after meals — reduces fullness.
Probiotics (after antibiotics finish) — e.g., Econorm sachet or curd with live culture.
Check for low B12/iron — common in gastritis → causes taste loss.
