On January 19 this year I visited a gastroenterologist and after a painful endoscopy procedure :p He found that I have Reflux Gastritis and since then I am on medication. Nexpro 2 times a day and Enzox-Forte three times a day. I used to feel inflammation in the stomach lining. -spoiler-Naq oybbq va fgbby. orpnhfr vg'f orra oynpx va pbybe ng gvzrf.-spoiler-

Reflux Gastritis I assume is same as Chronic gastritis is associated with smoking and chronic alcoholism, but I never consumed alcohol or smoked except for a very few times. But it may also be caused by Bile entering into stomach from the duodenum, and this is the reason in my case. But in most cases it is caused by the bacterium Helicobacter, for which I had not been tested. So I dont know whether those creatures are dwelling in my stomach or not :p

This disorder has no definite symptoms but may be liable to gastric ulcers or gastric cancer, The doc said that I have no ulcers, So does that mean I may get gastric cancer in future?

Quote:
Chronic acid reflux can lead to a change of the cells in the esophagus - known as Barrett's esophagus. Barrett's esophagus is linked with esophageal cancer. If you have chronic symptoms, you may want to consider further evaluation - an upper endoscopy would be the best test to see if you have Barrett's.

So, I have higher chances of getting esophageal or gastric cancer in future.
