DEAR USER
THANKS FOR CONSULTING AT HCM
ATROPHY CAN BE CAUSED BY PANTOP SO YOUR GASTROENTEROLOGIST STOPPED THE DRUG
I SUGGEST YOU THE FOLLOWING TO TREAT YOUR EROSION
1) AVOID SPICY AND OILY FOOD
2) EAT LEAFY VEGETABLES
REGARDING FUNDOPLICATION IT CAN BE DECIDED ONLY AFTER PROPER EVALUATION OF GERD AND THEN CONSIDERING ITS NEED..ONLY AFTER CONSULTING YOUR SURGEON
HOPE I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
