Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. You are having gastrits along with reflux esophagitis.
2. You will need to take protonix along with additional domperidone. Domperidone will strengthen gastroesophageal sphincter, avoiding the acid to move up.
3. Due to excessive food intake due to burning pain, which would reduce pain and also stress, you have gained weight.
4. Regular meals and low spicy diet is essential. You would need medications for atleast 1-2 months. Have good hdyration.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again
