Well, my physician has finally said, you don't respond to PPIs and have Bile Reflux so it may be surgery time. I've been begging for nissen for three years, now I'm nervous as sin. Will it really help reflux, and reduce cancer risk?
4 months post Nissen with bile reflux. When I swallow at night, a gurgle. Sounds like air, but I've been waking up drooling a lot. I can tell it's not drool. Go back on a ppi? Morning or night?
I have la grade b reflux esphogitis via endoscopy/biopsy. No hyplori. I was put on ppi for 8 weeks. Is this the same thing as EROSIVE esophagitis? If it is, won't I be on ppi for life?
Regarding my reflux do I need nissen surgery, or continue using Nexium (esomeprazole) with diet & healthy foods. No chocolate, fried food, acids, alcohol, etc...
What medication would you recommend for silent reflux for a patient with prolonged qt. I know PPIs are questionable with long qt.
