Dr. Ralph Morgan Lewis answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Possibly: But have to give meds/treatment adequate time before repeat study (say 6-12 months). May be done sooner if condition not improving or worsens. Insurance provider may also place limits on when/if repeat study is done. Discuss with treating doc. May prefer recheck with endoscopy.
