    75mg of PPI per day is a lot, and will probably make you feel worse as you'll have hardly any acid to digest food. You will need to seriously review your diet and lifestyle. Alcohol and smoking are defo not good. And high fat foods and dairy will make your symptoms worse

      I know that you are feeling bad, but what can you do. I take my PPIs and would never go for a surgery since the meds help me. I'm daily on them. But go to doctors and ask them what steps could be taken...
