    Being off your hearburn meds may have given you acid rebound.  Going back on them  will help to clear the acid.   You may have simple acid reflux which can also be treated with OTC antacids and avoiding, fatty, spicy and rich foods. You may have a weak oesophageal sphincter which opens and lets the acid out.  I was told I had this when my endoscopy was clear.  I am amazed you coped with the sedation; many others on this forum seem to handle it too.  I am very intolerant to sedation which can cause me weeks of side effects.

      hi pippa............the consultant endoscopy nurse seems to think the h pylori which i went through the week long triple whammy course to eradicate may still be causing symptoms even though that week course was over 3 weeks ago..yesterdays endoscopy showed no h pylori..so i dunno maybe symptoms linger after eradication..its all very confusing, cheers Al

      It takes time for your stomach to recover after strong antibiotics and so your stomach may still be sensitive. Try probiotic foods such as yoghurt to rebalance your gut flora which can get disturbed after the antibiotics.  Since your endoscopy showed no h pylori, then this infection is no longer the issue.  Endoscopies are very accurate.
