After several months of morning vomiting, unexplained weight loss, some occasional painful heart burn and discomfort with swallowing, I finally had an endoscopy earlier this week. The news was not too good. Stomach completely filled with bile and gastritis, LA Grade C esophagitis, and hiatal hernia (puny). I have started on prilosec 20 mg twice a day until I follow-up with doc. They took biopsies of stomach and esophagus and I follow up with GI doc very soon. The only relief was just having some answers and realizing I wasn't making this stuff up.
I am getting a crash course. Wow! looking at some major lifestyle changes. I have been disheartened with lack of treatments available for the suspected bile reflux.(gall bladder was removed after gallstone pancreatitis years ago.
In any regard I am just saying "hi" and not try to make the diagnoses more horrible by excessive worrying and find helpful information.
