Suggest Treatment For Erosive GERD And Acid Reflux

Hi. I am 39yo and was diagnosed with erosive GERD a week ago, even though I have been experiencing reflux related symptoms for more than 15y. I started on 40mg of pantoprazol twice a day and quit coffee and tea. I am actually drinking green tea and some other herbs, but no more than twice a day. I am also on a strict diet and I d say that I eat carrots almost every other day. Today I noticed an alarming yellowish discoloration in my feces, nothing like I ve seen before. Knowing that there is a link between liver function and stool color, I am worried that this might also point to some PPI side affects on my liver. Do you think this might be a real possibility that requires further testing?

Hello,

It may be due to acid reflux.

For that you can take tablet pantoprazole and syp mucaine gel after physician consultation.

Avoid hot and spicy food.

Keep your self hydrated and take balanced diet.

In case of not getting relief you may require complete hemogram, upper GI endoscopy after gastroenterologist consultation

Hope I have answered your query...
