Repeated vomiting is one of the causes of esophagitis. The commonest cause is GERD. Stopping vomiting & managing GERD will help heal your esophagitis. Abstaining from alcohol,aspirins,meds like advil& aleve,avoiding excess caffeine are all important. Your gastroscopy didn't reveal Barretts. Your esophagitis won't be permanent. Follow your gastroenterologist's instructions.
