Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The endoscopy report does not reveal any significant problem. The cause of the loose motions could be a weak intestinal flora. Too long a antacid therapy could lead to alteration of bacterial flora. I would suggest the following
1. Sucralfate susp 1 tablespoon three times a day after meals.
2. pantoprezole 40 mgms at bedtime.
The duration of this therapy should be only 21 days.
For frequent stools I would suggest
Econorm sachets( 1 XXXXXXX in the morning and one in the evening on an empty stomach taking care that you do not take anything half an hour before and after the sachet)
Reduce the intake of fast foods as much as possible.
I am sure this therapy will help.
Regards

Hi,
Biopsy in patients with long term symptoms is a routine. the commonest offending agent is H pylori which is either picked up by carbon breath test or by culture and histology of biopsy material.
The treatment of H pylori is medications only.
Yes sucralfate and econorm are freely available in India.
