Can i take carafate for life for gastropathy caused by bile reflux? after months of taking,feel better but won't they come back if bile prob not fixed

Get to know side eff: Other drugs that reduce the relaxations of the LES, such as baclofen, have also proven to reduce bile reflux, particularly in patients who are refractory to PPI.Carafate forms physical cytoprotective barrier that covers the ulcer and protects it from further attack by damaging agents such as acid,bile & pepsin,Sucralfate may bind to many other drugs and inhibit their absorbtion.
