If the gastritis lasts more than a week.
Not sure how you came to know that you have gastritis. If you’re having abdominal symptoms then you should visit a physician.
If it is caused by H. pylori, then that infection should be treated. Otherwise, most gastritis has no specific cause and does not need treatment directly, particularly when biopsies are negative.
