Suggest Treatment For Gastritis And Burning Sensation In The Stomach
I have had persistent stomach burning sensation,belching and gas from 30th Dec'14.When the same didn't subside I went to a gastroenterlogist on 1st Jan'15.I was prescribed Nexpro RD 40 MG OD and Sucral suspension. However since the problem continued I went for an endoscopy on 3rd Jan'15.The endoscopy results were as follows:
Oesophagus-OG JN AT 34cm,Normal
Stomach-Fundus -Normal
Body- Erythematous with erosion
Antrum-Erythematous with erosion
Duodenum-D1 and D2-Normal
Rapid Urease Test-Negative
Diagnosis-Erosive gastritis
Medication suggested was to discontinue Sucral and continue with only Nexpro for 14 days.
My symptoms include no nauseau,vomiting or blood in stool.
Queries-
1.When I do lot of physical strenuous work which puts pressure in the stomach area I get a feeling as if surgery or wound is inside and my burning sensation starts again.Is it normal till the time it heals?
2.How long will the erosion take to heal?Does it heal completely?
3.Does the Rapid Urease test suffices the requirement of a cancer test?
4.If not should I go for a cancer test?When?
5.Am traveling on 1st Feb what precautions should I take when it comes to food? What I can and can't eat?
