lpr/gerd, does digestive enzymes help?

Hi everyone,

I being dealing with gerd/ lpr since July. On July it was only a lump in my throat, doctor told me it wa silent reflux without any test she gave me omeprazole to see if it help my lump feeling. I only took it for a week because i had side effectd (bloated, burping all the time and stomach uptset) days after i stopped taking omeprazole i actually start feeling acid refluyx symptoms heartburn, sour stomach, nausea. then they did an endoscopy and found esophagitis so i tried zantac , had side effects too so doctor told me to try diet, so i tried the diet no sucess. no i been back on ppi's since middle november because i was regurgating after everymeal , feel like sour feeling in my mouth and sore throat and i feel more chest pain now. ppi are not helping my sour taste, regurgation and sore throat chest pain still there. has any one tried digestive enzymes? many people tell me that sometimes that helps. but don't know if it will help with my throat since i hear that sore throat sometimes is lpr. they said lpr could be due to pepsin so if pepsin is enzyme doen't taking more enzymes will make it worse. Please any body with simililar symptoms what help you?
