Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to our portal.

I reviewed your endoscopy and histopathology report. (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

You have a small hiatus hernia and it has no specification association with proteins shake. Your report also shows chronic gastritis which also adds to your discomfort. This issue usually improves with medications but recurs after some time.

My recommendations will be some changes in your medications for some time and then will readjust and down titrate again. Meanwhile, you need some precautions as well.
