What are the possible complications of bile reflux?

Chronic inflammation of your stomach lining (gastritis) can lead to stomach ulcers and is associated with a higher risk of stomach cancer. Inflammation of your esophagus (esophagitis) can cause ulcers, scarring and cellular changes to your lining (Barrett’s Esophagus), which is occasionally a precursor to esophageal cancer. These risks are also associated with chronic gastroesophageal acid reflux (GERD), but studies show that bile reflux multiplies the risk.
