    Hi Gillian. I feel for you . You seem to be having the normal treatment. I have had the operation and I have not improved but I would say worse as the op came apart. I suffer the same as you but when I had the camera down it did show erosions. I take PPIs along with Gaviscon which tends to help me. I did find that my body got used to a certain kind and ceased being effective so I was given another make. Might be worth a try.
