Chronic gastritis/ulcer for 4 years.

It all started few years back when I used to work in night shifts for Dell. I had a bad life style like drinking and smoking, eating junk food only and consuming half liter coke, Pepsi every day. I realize the biggest mistake was to drink not one but at times two black coffee back to back when feeling sleepy. So this kind of life style developed H-Pylori and gastritis over the time. what worsened the problem was to take whey protein which irritated the gastritis.
      for last 3 and a half years I have been going to different doctors none have been able to help me. the give me antacid or acid blocker which makes me feel like it has healed but the problem arises again as soon as the decrease the dose, it comes back as strong as it was before. I feel the main problem is not the acid but the erosive inner lining of stomach which needs to be healed with some medicine. It is not healing on itself for some reason

Symptoms:-  gastritis irritates whenever I eat anything that is hard to digest like eggs, meat, lots of milk, lots of whole grain, big meal at a time. it also irritates when I the time between 2 meals gets longer than 4 hours, then stomach start to release acid and the problem starts. it has also seems to damage my nervous system as immediately I start to feel week, I cant even lift my shoulders. that week I feel. head ache and noisia, when there is a problem in morning the whole body gets sore, feel pain in lower back head and legs.

Precaution :- more than medicine my lifestyle changes have been able to help me like I do not drink alcohol, smoke, I do not drink tea coffee, lemon or orange juice. try to eat every 3 to 4 hours, eat last meal 2 to 3 hours before i sleep, and eat 2 proper meal and fruits like banana, papaya, and seasonal fruits rest of the times. Exercise 3 times a week for hour.  if i miss on any of the above things the stomach will irritate and I will have to take antacid in night for couple of days and soothe the stomach with fruits and aloevera so that i can come on my normal routine . I am really hopeless now. science have found the cure for cancer and many incurable disease, but mine remains uncured. I will be really great full to someone who can help me.

I have suffered from the same problem but I was wondering if you wake up with stomach acid coming out your mouth and nose along with blood but only while you are asleep???
