Horrible acid reflux

I'm feeling horrible with this constant acid reflux.

I will be getting a endoscopy in a few weeks but I've been dealing with this for so long now and the medications the doctor has put me on haven't been working. I'm so sick of feeling sick sad

    I love the way these threads make you realise you are not alone. My story is the same, tried the drugs, had the endo, cut out all sorts of things. I doubt the cause is similar for us all but here are a couple if my thoughts.

    I'm ok with moderate wheat but diary is a nonno. I am fine with tea if I cut the milk. I think this is for me due to the bloating diary causes (due to lack of bile due to lack of oestrogen) putting pressure under my stomach and pushing it all up.

    Mine is worse at night when lying down, I don't think the muscles and valves have the same strength as our hormones change.

    Stress makes it worse, the anxiety increases, you feel worse etc etc. Still working hard on this one, it is a daily battle.

    Last thought. Flexible people are more likely to suffer.

    Hugs to all with this, at least we know we are not alone.
