Suggest Treatment For Erosive GERD And Acid Reflux
Hi. I am 39yo and was diagnosed with erosive GERD a week ago, even though I have been experiencing reflux related symptoms for more than 15y. I started on 40mg of pantoprazol twice a day and quit coffee and tea. I am actually drinking green tea and some other herbs, but no more than twice a day. I am also on a strict diet and I d say that I eat carrots almost every other day. Today I noticed an alarming yellowish discoloration in my feces, nothing like I ve seen before. Knowing that there is a link between liver function and stool color, I am worried that this might also point to some PPI side affects on my liver. Do you think this might be a real possibility that requires further testing?
