Sir, I am suffering 5 months, patulous ge junction, medicine but no use please help me sir what is meaning of patulous ge junction.

Question

Normally the stomach sphincter closes completely. If it is patulous ti means it is not completely closing and thus allowing acid flow from stomach to your food pipe and mouth-commonly known as GERD, causing acidity. If it is severe, you will have to take medicines as advised by gastroenterologist after doing an endoscopy. Try eating frequent small meals instead of 3 large meals, eat your dinner 2 hours or more before you sleep and use more cushions to elevate your head while sleeping.
