Brief Answer:
Continue with rabeprazole.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
I have talked with my gastro colleagues about your condition. That's why it took so long to answer.
As the inflammation is mild, you should not worry much. Surgical correction (fundoplication) can be considered when you have money for the surgery.
It is not of major concern now. There is no risk of cancer for now and you should continue with rabeprazole.
Please keep yourself calm and do not take much stress.
Hope this helps.
I wish for your speedy recovery.
Thanks.
