I had the endoscopy today, not an experienced I want to repeat without anaesthetic.

Mild duodenitis in the anterior bulb is all that was found. Biopsy taken to rule out helicobacter Pylori infection.

Nothing sinister found or suspected.

Discharged with instructions to use Gaviscon or PPI when needed in future. I've managed without so far so won't bother for now.

Good news @Jamesuk9 , must be a weight off your mind - no pun intended ......

Great news! Fyi the best remedy i ever found for heartburn was dissolving 1/2 tsp bicarb soda in half a cup of water. Instaneous relief!

In my previous life, fat gave me acid reflux that was taking the enamel off my teeth.
My change of diet and weight loss cured that.

I'd go for the gaviscon, and visit the dentist regularly if I was you.
