I don't know what else to do or where else to turn and kind of feel like I am losing my mind. I never used to have problems with GERD. I could eat a dozen hot wings and drink a coke and be just fine. Then in my early 20's, things changed. I can't remember exactly when but things really started going down hill.
Since then, I have had 3 upper endoscopies (2 with Bravo pH studies), seen about 6 different GI specialists, an ENT, and tried over a dozen different medications. I have tried acupuncture and seen 2 different naturopaths. One treated me for a parasite and yeast overgrowth. I know that may not seem like a lot to some but it's been plenty for me. I have completely changed my diet and now am eating gluten/dairy/corn/mostly sugar free. Almost zero processed food. No tomatoes, onions, garlic, pepper, etc. The only spices I use are Himalayan salt, parsley, basil, oregano, and rosemary. I am currently working with a holistic nutritionist without much luck.
I periodically try to add things back in to test them and they never go well. I have been trying to wean off my PPI's and acid reducers because I feel perhaps they are doing more harm than good at this point. I have tried Acid Soothe (Enzymedica) a couple of times but tonights dose isn't doing much and I have heard conflicting things.
Any suggestions that you can think of that I haven't tried?
