Should a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) be taken for life or for
4–8 weeks as recommended by the medication manufacturers in the
treatment of reflux oesophagitis? Would a hiatus hernia patient who
has reflux oesophagitis and isn't responding to proton pump
inhibitors (PPIs) benefit from a highly selective vagotomy? What
causes belching and what medications can be used to treat it? What
are the consequences of smoking on the digestive tract, and how
does it contribute to peptic ulcer disease? Why are gastric ulcers
more common along the lesser curve, near the stomach's pylorus?
