Gastritis can last 20 years, if you please...

You should find the CAUSE of gastritis. In most cases this is Helycobacter pylori infection. Diagnosis is with a breath test, and treatment by antibiotics.

If your symptoms stay after H. pylori eradication, you should take anti-acid drugs, and then it depends, if you're lucky, you should have no major problems...
