Cyclizene -mine for other tum stuff being diagnosed but it helps wonderfully PRN.

Prescription only, ask your GP as regards efficacy for you and dosage..

I had gastritis for some months, although I didn’t know it was that. I had a private colonoscopy and endoscopy through our health insurance, and it was diagnosed. I took Omeprazol for some weeks and it settled it down. I still have IBS, though. I control that through a limited diet.
I weaned myself off the Omeprazol.

About 18 years' ago I had gastritis with constant nausea and lost about 20 pounds after barely eating for weeks - turned out to be helicobacter pylori infection which causes stomach ulcers.

I was given a course of strong antibiotics which was very effective and was back to normal after a couple of weeks, and the weight returned as quickly as it went.
