Question 1

esophagitis grade a and ge junction at 40cm since 2 and half weeks i feel nausea while eating and disgust  from any kind of food no vomit no appetite?

Accepted Answer

Find symptom's cause: Nausea/vomiting may be gi-related (food poisoning, peptic disease, gastroparesis, biliary &amp; pancreatic disease, gas/bloat syndrome, small bowel problems). Consider "central" causes: motion sickness, vertigo, migraine headache, brain problems (some very serious). Also, rule out infection (? Urinary tract), medication side effects, pregnancy, &amp; even reaction to stress. Have GERD but maybe more here.

Question 2

i have la grade b esophagitis. is it possible that barretts esophagus is hidden? also, what should i eat? should i stick to no fatty food, chocolate, typical gerd diet? will i have this forever? could forceful vomit session have given me this?

Accepted Answer

: Repeated vomiting is one of the causes of esophagitis. The commonest cause is GERD. Stopping vomiting &amp; managing GERD will help heal your esophagitis. Abstaining from alcohol,aspirins,meds like advil&amp; aleve,avoiding excess caffeine are all important. Your gastroscopy didn't reveal Barretts. Your esophagitis won't be permanent. Follow your gastroenterologist's instructions.

Question 3

how long does it take gastritis & esophagitis symptoms to resolve when treated with prilosec & carafate (sucralfate)? (nausea/vomiting/difficulty swallowing)

Accepted Answer

Up to a few weeks: If you truely have esophagitis, one would expect your symptoms to improve in a few days to a few weeks.

Question 4

i caught two stomach viruses two weeks apart. threw up violently during the second one. shortly after that i slowly started to develop gerd symptoms. i now have reflux esophagitis, via endoscopy. is there a connection? i never had problems before?

Accepted Answer

: You might have had the GERD and esophagits that was silent before the viruses. Silent means that it had no symptoms. The violent vomiting would really irritate it though and probably why you began to have symptoms and got it checked out. That would likely be the only connection.

Question 5

what is grade c esophagitis?

Accepted Answer

Esophagitis: There are 4 grades of esophagitis, grade c is defined as: grade c 	mucosal breaks continuous between > 2 mucosal folds, but involving less than 75% of the esophageal circumference.

Question 6

what happens when esophagitis isuntreated?

Accepted Answer

Damage: The esophagus is damaged which can lead to scar tissue forming. This can cause difficulty swallowing. Also, ongoing damage to the esophagus is thought to cause precancerous changes to occur in the esophagus which, over time, could lead to esophageal cancer.

Question 7

can hydrocodone and alcohol cause esophagitis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alcohol is well known to cause reflux and hydrocodone slows gastric transit thus making reflux and esophagitis more likely
the other risk is both alcohol and hydrocodone are associated with central nervous system down regulation etc never should they be used together.

Question 8

esophagitis grade 2 becomes barrettes esophagus?

Accepted Answer

Possible: To avoid worsening symptoms and possible transformation to Barrett's, I strongly recommend close follow up by a GI specialist for proper treatment and monitoring.

Question 9

gerd--esophagitis--please help me treat at home?

Accepted Answer

OTC meds: Otc meds but it is highly recommended that you see a GI dr. To have your esophagus evaluated. It is not enough to just control your symptoms. You need the problem diagnosed as well. Ranitidine and Lansoprazole have been used to control the symptoms for years. As have other h2 blockers and ppis.
