HXFi, I’m an 18 yearold female and I have been suffering with chronic unexplainable reflux and now esophagitis for the past four months. I have tried pretty much every medication on the market that was suggested to me and have been through a battery of tests, some of which were repeated multiple times but not much has come of it. I have made lifestyle and diet changes but none of that has helped either. what should I do next? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

      Also, at first they thought I had a hiatal but they supposedly confirmed that wasn't the issue.

    Hello. I have had reflux for four years. I've been treated now. Have you ever tried Nortriptyline?

      Yes. Acid reflux that does not respond to treatment usually has a neurologic root. I tried many treatments like ppi and antidepressants like ssri. Finally, I only improved with nortriptyline.
