Hi,I have been very concerned about my husband who had total gastrectomy in December. He seemed to be getting on well but developed a lot of bile reflux. For the last few weeks he has been getting a lot of pain after eating and feels like the food isn't going down properly .last week he ate a few mouthfuls and it all came back up.He has lost so much weight and has no energy as he isn't eating enough. He had an endoscopy on Saturday which found a grade D oesophaghitus. They said his oesophagus is badly inflamed .He has been prescribed lanzoprazole. He has to have another endoscopy in 6 weeks. Has anyone else had this please as I'm so worried. He has lost 7 stone now. Would be grateful for any advise,thankyou
