A member asked:

Duodenal bile reflux & gastropathy on egd. gi md is not sure what to do next.tried/failed all meds,bland diet, no nsaids.can reflux surgery help this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Botox: is a last resort and must be performed by a skilled GI expert.. You did not specify what medications you were taking, nor did you mention blood or breath testing for H. pylori bacteria, a causative bacteria in peptic ulcer and gastritis.
