hello..sorry your having problems. If it's just really bad acid reflux try a pinch (not a lot) of baking soda in a cup of water before bed on an empty stomach. If symptoms do not go away within a few weeks or you think it's not helping then of course stop. Im not a doctor but I've healed my acid reflux in a couple of weeks with baking soda. Another problem it could be is low stomach acid. You could mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in water about 30 minutes before a meal to see if you digest properly. I wouldn't eat gassy foods. I'd stick to broth, potatoe, rice...super easy to digest foods...soluable fiber foods. Hang in there! hope this helps and try not to worry... it makes things so much worse. God be with you!

Have you had test for ...done:

Gastroparesis is a condition that affects the normal spontaneous movement of the muscles (motility) in your stomach. Ordinarily, strong muscular contractions propel food through your digestive tract.

..........

I def do not suggest the vinegar due to your symptoms, I think it would only cause you problems.

Here are some examples of foods that can be enjoyed on most soft diets (7, 8Trusted Source):

Keep in mind that there are different variations of soft food diets, depending on the condition they’re being used to treat. Some people with further restrictions may not be able to tolerate certain foods for various reasons.

Therefore, it’s always best to consult your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian if you’re following a soft diet and have questions about what foods you’re permitted to eat.

Many foods should be avoided when following a soft food diet. Hard to digest foods, as well as those that are tough to chew, should be restricted. Typically, spicy and very acidic foods are also off-limits.

The following foods are commonly restricted on soft diets (7, 8Trusted Source):

Fruits: fresh fruits (with some exceptions like avocados and bananas), fruits with peels and seeds, dried fruits, highly acidic fruits like lemons and limes

Grains and starches: hard crackers, chewy or crusty breads, high fiber breads and grains, such as seeded breads and shredded wheat, French fries, popcorn

Spicy or irritating foods: hot peppers, tomato sauce, gas-promoting foods, such as cabbage and beans, tabasco sauce

Note that your healthcare provider may recommend further restrictions depending on your medical condition. It’s important to have a good understanding of the diet that’s prescribed and your individual dietary needs.

May I also suggest the Ensure Max protein drink, it is very healthy, taste is pretty good, diff flavors and adds alot of nutrition to your diet.

Have you tried getting a second or even a third opinion form a diff Gastro.

Have you had the gallbladder hida test done, also ask for further pancreas testing, did they use a camera ultra sound test on endoscope? MRI of internal organs. When you use anti acids like Rolaids, do they help at all?....and also describe your breathing issues in more detail.....try to relax, turn off the news, watch funny movies, and listen to relaxing music while doing other activities and at night use progressive relaxation to sleep. And do not accept any doctor telling you your symptoms are all in your head, this is un-acceptable and I would not go back to any doc that told me that. Also check into genetic testing for some abdominal issues as well. Most health facilities have genetic counselors you can consult with even over the phone now due to the virus. Good luck and am so sorry. I also deal with persistent issues.

i also have the same problems, shortness of breath specially while sleeping. I had acid reflux that once caused severe difficulty in breath for many days and nights, i couldn't eat, drink, sleep and breath. then i was admitted to hospital and after endoscopy, i was diagnosed with PANGASTRITIS (a chronic and severe form of gastritis). 6 months past to this, still i am at medicine (such as lowering acid of stomach, antibiotics to let h.pylori remain in lower quantities in the body) because when I don't take these medicines, shortness of breath invades again. I left almost all of spicy foods, biryani, chicken and sour fruits. I eat yogurt, it doesn't cause any problem. but all other things affect me more or less (even milk)

Thanks for your response Shakeela i am so sorry to hear about you feeling unwell. This problem is so disabling and not knowing what is causing is even more frightening as it makes you think of the worst. I am thinking of having a second opinion after things get back to normal. Shortness of breath is so scary.

Thanks Shakeela. I am a kidney donor so I cant afford to have a raised blood pressure. How are your symptoms at the moment? I am having alot of dull pain under my ribcage on right side.
