You continue the same treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw all attachments.
As per the reports,bits taken from the Stomach didn't show any Cancer or H.pylori infection. So,there is nothing to worry about.
You can continue with Lansaprazole .
Liver function tests are also normal. Fatty liver is diagnosed by Ultrasound abdomen.
You should take frequent small feeds.
You should avoid spicy foods, masala foods, carbonated drinks.
You need to stop smoking and alcohol if you have the habit.
Pain killers like Non steroidal anti inflammatory tablets shouldn't be taken .
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
It's better to stop drinking completely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
It's better to stop drinking completely for good results.
Drinking alcohol is not good for health, regularly or rarely.
As alcohol causes irritation to the stomach, it should be avoided.
Wish you good health.
