So sorry to hear your suffering. Do you have a hital hernia? Those ppi was making things worse then better for you. Sounds like your stomach is not moving food fast enough. please get off the ppi and eat a lot of probiotic foods and try to increase your stomach acid naturally. Now if you have hital hernia then that needs to be fixed but whatever you do, DO NOT HAVE A NISSEN FUNDOPLICATION. It will ruin your life and very hard to get undone. Your whole stomach anatomy changes. Please Join nissen takedown on fb. You can learn a tons about this disease

first do not get off PPI cold Turkey! doing that would make the stomach produce more acid. Take every other day for 2 weeks than every 3 days for 2 weeks and continue that way... Before you get off them try a few things. 1. elevate to sleep. 2. eat small meals more frequently. never wait till your starving! Carry crackers with you incase u cant stop to eat.. Chew slowly small bites. NO spicey food, No alcohol, No chocolate, No tomato sauce, No coffee. VERY BLAND DIET!
3 . If you can get massages weekly for a month. 4. NO STRESS! I know that's hard but walk away from it... 5. Eat yogurt daily! don't miss the probiotic! RELAX IT WILL GET BETTER AND HEAL ITSELF. Did you have an ENDOSCOPY? Worrying about it drives you crazy! I had one and have a narrowing from inflammation REFLUX. I also have a sliding Hiatal Hernia.. I feel your Pain. But follow this and I guarantee it does get better... stay on the PPI's for a few more weeks while following this diet. You will be amazed how it heals.. Then slowly get off PPI...

BTW I had all your symptoms also sore throat, ear ache, short of breath, pressure at bottom of rib cage, shoulder pain, stomach bloated all the time, clearing my throat constantly, felt congested, just awful... I do get symptoms once in a while but that's usually after a holiday... just cut back again and then I am fine.. Good luck! Hope this helps!
