GERD discomfort
I am undergoing discomfort with constant burping, bloating and burning sensation. I completed an endoscopy last year and was diagnosed with grade II gastritis. I also had moderate h.pylori. I took pan40 on and off when symptoms increased since then. I am again going through the same feeling. Can h.pylori be detected by stool test if I have been on pan40 last 1 week. Also can I take sucrafil o gel/gaviscon along with pan40 for relief?
