Biliary Gastritis

Posted By ** on January 18, 1999 at 11:43:49:







After much testing (endoscopy & biopsies), it was determined
that I have biliary gastritis.  I continue with Cimetidine as
most drugs disagree (arthralgias) or are less effective
(Pantoloc, Losec).
What are the long-term implications of biliary gastritis? I
dislike taking meds all the time and the specialists hesitate
to proceed with a rou-en-y procedure (spelling?) because of
the implications of such a procedure.  
Could long-term biliary gastritis lead to stomach cancer? On a
less-serious scale, how good is food absorption if on long-term
H2 antagonists?
Thanks!
