Try medical therapy: especially reduction of stomach acid, abdominal ultrasound, liver and pancreatic blood studies. You may benefit from daily use of PPI medication such as Prilosec OTX, Nexiumor Zegerid. Make sure to get tested for H. pylori, a stomach bacteria which may require additional medical therapy.
