A member asked:
How sever is grade 1 esophagitis. what risk treatments and how concerned should one be. using 6 weeks ppi did help little. would diet control help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Esophagitis: Ppi medications would have a role here, but diet plays an equally important part of treatment. Try cutting back on fatty or spicy foods, sleep on an extra pillow, and do not eat anything after 8 pm.
