A member asked:
Gi doctor started me on pepcid for bile reflux confirmed by egd. how would an acid reducer help heal my inflamed stomach if i don't have acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: It is a rather complex condition, but it was found that methods to treat gastric acid reflux would help treat bile reflux, including antacids as pepcid, in addition to life style modifications: reducing weight, stopping smoking, raising the head of the bed, etc.. wish you well
