Question

Diagnosised w/mild antral gastritis & mild GERD waiting 4 h pylori results-take Prilosec bid & carafate-can not eating enough cause break thru reflux?

Answer 1

GERD : Grade a gerd is fairly mild condition. Erosive antral gastritis is certainly not a serious condition. I would follow what your GI doctor have advised and most of these problem can be addressed accordingly. http://www.laendo.net/english/gerddiagnosis-and-treatment.

Answer 2

No: It is not dangerous now, but is left untreated could become dangerous. Follow up on recommendations from your gastroenterologist. Youll be ok. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Probably not: Surgery is rare in children with gastroesophageal reflux disease, the usual cause of "heartburn." nearly all cases of reflux can be treated with special feeding techniques or medicine. Surgery is only used in very rare cases of severe, chronic reflux, or in children who are neurologically impaired (in these cases, reflux can lead to pneumonia). A healthy baby with reflux won't need surgery.

Answer 4

Unlikely: Surgery (called a nissen fundoplication) used to be a commonly accepted treatment for heartburn or reflux, but is rarely used nowadays except in extreme cases. More common treatments include specialized formulas, anti-acid medications, positioning of the baby and thickening feedings.

Answer 5

Probably not :): In most cases, heartburn is a transient problem due to reflux of stomach acid into esophagus. In many babies this resolves with age. There are a number of medications that can be prescribed to help alleviate the reflux. It is only in very rare circumstances (including neuromuscular disorders or severe failure to thrive) that a surgery is medially required for this otherwise common condition.

Answer 6

Heart burn: Not at al make sure that you discuss with your pediatrician possible medical treatments.

Answer 7

Could be: This sounds like a classic symptom for acid reflux. Common symptoms: throat clearing (especially after meals), feeling like something is stuck in the throat, thick mucus, hoarseness, bitter taste in throat, throat irritation. See your local ENT who can use a camera and look at your vocal cords.

Answer 8

Possibly: More likely, you are not clearing the saliva or have some pharyngeal residue (food residue behind the soft palate). Try drinking liquids between each bite. If the problem is more in the throat, an ENT doc can easily look to tell if there is anything more going on.

Answer 9

Type of pain: Reflux (gerd) typically causes burning pain localized to the mid chest. Gallbladder pain(biliary colic) is a noncramping, nonburning, steady pain, typically in the right upper-or upper middle abdomen. It typically lasts for an hour and then goes away completely. Antacids will often help gerd but have no effect on the gallbladder. Both may be associated with nausea and vomiting.

Answer 10

Tests needed: Gall stones can be detected by ultrasound, though not everyone with gall stones needs surgery.

Answer 11

Symptom/disease: Heartburn is a symptom often caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). Not everyone with gerd has heartburn and not everyone complaining of heartburn has gerd as the cause.

Answer 12

Really the same: Some doctors may call more regular episodes of heartburn acid reflux disease i.e. Daily as opposed to episodic heartburn that you get from eating too much pizza.

Answer 13

No: Heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux. Gerd, or acid reflux can present with other symptoms such as voice changes, coughing or abdominal pain.

Answer 14

Really the same: Some doctors may call more regular episodes of heartburn acid reflux disease i.e. Daily as opposed to episodic heartburn that you get from eating too much pizza.

Answer 15

See doctor: Headache and upset stomach are vague symptoms, like 'i have a fever', need to figure out what is causing it. It can by many harmless things and some very dangerous ones, so you should be seen.

Answer 16

Indigestion: Treat the indigestion for 2 weeks with omeprazole. Acid reflux at night may be disturbing your sleep which in turn may be causing the headaches. If the symptoms don't resolve in 2 weeks, see your doctor.
