Avoid NSAIDS (Non steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs).  I have gastritis, too.  Definitely follow the GERD diet.  You can try DGL (found in supplement stores) if you actually experience burning.  I found it unhelpful myself.  No coffee or real tea.  Mint is irritating.  Citrus may bother you, too.  No canned tomato products.  I think you can see the trend here.

You might want to check to be sure you're not harboring H. pylori, a bactera that is implicated in causing gastritis. Also consider following a GERD-friendly diet. You can find a representative example at www.gicare.com.
