I started symptons of Reflux Oesophagitis at the beginning of April (Easter Sunday) and still have the same symptons. I have been in hospital for a week after not eating and drinking for a month and finally had to be put on a drip.
I am back home now and have been prescribed Lansoparole. These really do not do anything for me. I still wake up every morning feeling thirsty, I now have a cough, I have a kind of fizzy taste in my mouth permanently and my taste buds are all to pot.
When on earth will all this just go away.
Does anyone ever get any better?

My GP is very much against milk as he says that encourages the stomach to make acid but perhaps carnation is different.

When I started Lanzoprole it took about 4-5 weeks for my body to feel the benefits, its not a drug where you take it once and you feel better. What you describbe could be nothing to do with the drugs you are taken but because you ended up in hospital and now the body has to adjust again to eating.
I manage my reflux which us eto be pretty bad by lanzoprozle which for me has been a life changer, taking care with what I eat so I avoid acidic foods, I don't eat late and eat regularly. comeents you will hear many people make. I also have my bed raised at an amgle with bricks
Sounds like you need to go and see your GP and discuss your problems and see what they recommend

May I ask how long you use this PPI's? and have you noticed any side effect?
My problem is my LES which doesnt close good and I suffer for almost a year.
I am a bit afraid of using PPI's and try to use antiacids and Ranitidine.
But I dont eat many things and its very annoying! I just want to eat normal again but its not possible

May I ask what is the cause of your reflux?
and can you also eat trigger foods and drink trigger drinks like alcohol and coffee?
I travel a lot and my problem is that I cannot find a good food to eat during the trips in restaurants which makes me very depressed!

I would try out the PPI, it does take about 4 weeks for me to kick in and we had to play with the dose because the initial dose was too low and did nothing.
Hope this helps

I also began for 4 months with PPI, didnt have any acid but I had excessive gas in my esophagus and throat and also nausea.
Now i just try to take medication if needed, but still nausea and full feeling after eating. My GP said it will be like this but I hope I can get totally well again.

I can tell you that 6 months ago I thought I never can have coffee again, and today I just drank a cup of coffee without worrying about it.
You can drink coffee again, dont worry.
