Esophagitis , gastritis , severe inflammation

I am suffering from esophagitis, gastritis , and severe inflammation. Last December I randomly one morning got acid reflux really bad part of a flu and it caused me to be short of breath. I went to a gi doctor and had him do a endoscopy and he said i had a stricture so he dilated which helped alot but not for very long..after about a month later it got bad again. So for a few months waiting to see if it would eventually go away which it hasn't still. Its on and off with the inflammation..some days I wake up and I can breathe more and some days I can't which I notice food doesn't go down well as well. I just had a second endoscopy done with a better doctor and had him do biopsys. He did mention my stomach muscle is loose. Everything came back normal and no sings of reflux, and no signs of EoE. Just severe inflammation (gastritis and esophagitis). Anyone have any ideas for this ? It's driving me nuts ..I haven't felt normal since last December. I am taking esomeprazole (PPi)40mg one at night and one in the morning. Also i take Zyrtec daily. I have no signs of acid reflux..just food not going down well, shortness of breath ,and I seem to burp more often to get the food to go down quicker. Has anyone had inflammation caused by the proton pump inhibitor? I was very active before all this but didn't eat healthy. I now eat healthy and watch what i eat. Anyone also have this same problem? I'm also vitamin D deficient if that does anything 🤔

Edit: forgot to mention I am a 17 year old male.

My gi doctor told me to continue my PPi since my stomach muscle is gaping. I haven't been having reflux since I been on this PPi so I think I'm going to stay on it for now, eventually would like to try to get off it later on but just am worried about the rebound acid from getting off of it. I will start taking probiotics and see if those will start to help. They did say my esophagus didn't look normal and that my stomach has white spots all over inside. It all seemed to start when I got really sick last December.

Yeah I'm going to stay on them for now. Once the gastritis and esophagitis clears up I will probably try to get off it. That's good to know that you didn't get rebound , that's what I was worried about! Seems like when your on a PPi you have to keep eating alot throughout the day to stay "full" or to not feel as bloated. I wasnt eating that healthy before I found out I had these itis's so maybe changing my diet will help things heal too.

Although I wouldn't suggest it, I cut it off cold turkey. It's always better to wean off of PPIs.
