small meals, reduce use of certain foods,medications
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
As stated in the endoscopy report, the symptoms are likely due to severe reflux.
The severe reflux would have caused the damage to the esophagus and can be associated with damage to the stomach (gastritis )and duodenum(duodenitis) .
This inflammation would cause loss of appetite, bloating, burning discomfort, nausea, vomiting, increased salivation or an acid taste in the mouth.
The test for H pylori indicates that this was negative. H pylori is a bacteria that can cause/worsen reflux and gastritis.
Treatment would involve lifestyle changes and medication
Lifestyle changes are: (1)small frequent meals instead of large meals to reduce acid production
(2)reduced use of mint, onion, citrus fruits, tomatoes, caffeine, chocolate, spicy foods
(3)waiting 2 hours after eating before laying down
(4)weight loss of any excess weight because excess weight presses down on the stomach and contributes to the reflux
Medication
(1)medications such as one of these: nexium, prilosec, prevacid, protonix, aciphex would be the best choice
These medications reduce the acid production of the stomach but may take 5 to 7 days for full effect
The ultrasound showed a hemagioma in the liver (this is a benign - not cancer, lesion of the liver).
These are not known to become cancerous and do not usually cause any symptoms
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
