You did not say if you did or did not have H.pylori. Gastritis can mean many things - red stomach, erosions from aspirin etc., or actualy gastritis on biopsy caused by H.pylori. "Gas" means swallowing air (possibly a reflex action due to sensations in the oesophagus, from acid reflux oesophagitis or hiatus hernia etc.), sometimes lactose intolerance (milk intolerance/lactase enzyme deficiency), or fibre excess in the diet (bacteria in the colon make CO2 according to how much carnohydrtae (sugars and plant material) are reaching there. Sometimes bacteria can collect in the small intestine and cause gas release from normal food, and anyone who cannot digest food properly will have "gas". You can research these things on the internet.
Finally, if there is any sign of H.pylori on blood test or biopsy, the treat that first and then see how it goes.
