Despite medical management with proton pump inhibitors, analgesics, and supportive medications, the abdominal pain persisted. Investigations including CECT abdomen, abdominal ultrasonography, and X-ray revealed no significant abnormalities. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed in February 2026 showed antral gastritis with a negative rapid urease test. Due to ongoing symptoms, repeat endoscopy with biopsy was conducted in April 2026, which revealed Grade III lower esophageal sphincter, H. pylori–associated gastritis. I was subsequently treated with H. pylori eradication therapy(HP KIT) and continued ppi's for 4 more weeks.
But symptoms still persist.
