A member asked:
Grade 2 esophagitis (biopsy) what does this mean? should i be concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Esophagitis concerns: Most esophagitis will likely reflect injury from reflux of stomach contents (gerd) and should typically respond to acid blocker medicines. If you choose this route and you derive no relief after 2 weeks of acid suppression treatment, then seek medical evaluation since esophagitis may be more severe than anticipated, or due to a variety of non-reflux causes.
