General & Family Physician, Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin's Response

Hi,

The stomach has normal fluid and the stomach wall is very sensitive and erosive. The Gastritis mean the stomach wall is swollen and wall is inflamed. This is majorly due to spicy and oily food and the other causes include Painkiller medications. I would recommend you to continue Pantaprozole. And avoid spices and painkillers.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
