I have severe bloated tummy which always feel heavier when if the stomach is empty. Looks like 9 months pregnant tummy. Feels heavy all the time. Have this for more than 4 months. Taking pantaprazole since August for 3 months. Did stool and blood tests which was normal. Dr did endoscopy and checked for ulcer. Endoscopy didn't show up ulcer and he said he could see some redness. Did biopsy for h pylori. Biopsy results negative for h pylori. It says reactive gastropathy. Is reactive gastropathy means gastritis? I have severe bloating which didn't go away since July. Now Dr told me to take Omeprazole for another 3 months. Will this bloating and reactive gastropathy go away with this 3 months medicine? Severe bloated tummy and I am so worried if it's swollen. If anything serious. Dr told me to take ultrasound of abdomen now. Do I need to ask for any other testing or imaging? I didn't go for any second opinion. Is this bloating normal. Attaching the picture. Is gastropathy reversible
