Bone broth daily. Kettle and Fire has several good flavors.  You can season with salt, pepper, turmeric, etc. This helps to heal your GI. Keep a food diary of what you eat and how you feel. NSAIDS are treacherous, so eliminate if possible. Feel better!

Do you know the source of your Gastritis?  Is it related to active celiac disease, H. pylori?  

I have Autoimmune Gastritis (biopsy confirmed) despite a healed small intestine.  Avoiding gluten is critical for me as it tends to trigger my autoimmune gastritis and Hashimoto’s (besides celiac disease).  When my Gastritis flares, I avoid other foods that bother my stomach (known intolerances).    I take no medications as I have many allergic reactions to medications (like NSAIDS and even acetaminophen). I sleep on an elevated wedge pillow.  I do not eat after dinner and hours before bedtime.  Intermittent fasting (12 to 16hours) has been helpful in giving my GI track a break.  No alcohol.  Enjoy a drink?  Even water can burn!   No coffee on an empty stomach when Gastritis is flaring.  

My Gastritis ebbs and flows.  Exercise and reducing stress is helpful also.  

If you are still new to the gluten free diet, you probably need more time to heal.  The learning curve to the gluten-free diet is steep.  Most celiac here report taking a year or more to heal.  Be patient.  

I hope this helps.
