Crazy GERD After Naproxen course (7 days) - Help

Hello all,

I'm a bit desesperate for resolution of my Gerd and feel like I tried everything in vain..
If anyone could please read my story and propose ideas... it would mean a lot to me.
Me:

Been battling Lyme disease for 3 years. Been taking antibiotics for a almost that long.
Always been eating clean food, no alcool, gluten free, low carbs.
Always been taking lots of probiotics and Kefir.
Never had GERD issues during that time.

Then last Fall, I had to take 7 days of Naproxen+Colchicine and thing went south.
Bad.

The symptoms:
Been having GERD almost all day for 10 months now.
It can be any time but usually worse about 2 hours after eating.
Sometimes it so worse that I can feel discomfort in my nose.
It starts from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to bed (basically, it's all the time)

What I tried:
When it first appeared, I did a blood test for H pylorie which came back negative.
I did an gastroscopy that revealed nothing abnormal.
I tried Omeprazol and then Famotidine (not together), both didn't help.
I tried Dexilant for 2 days and had to stop for adverse reaction.

On the natural side, I tried:
-DGL
-Aloes Vera
- Slippery Elm tea (2x day)
- Chamomille tea
- Marshmellow tea (infused over night)
- Gastro Relief by AOR (https://aor.ca/product/gastro-relief/)

NOTHING, really makes a difference.
I'm to a point that I don't want to exercise or drive anymore as it makes thigs worse.
I sleep with a 6 inch inclinaison as it seems to make a SLIGHT improvement during night.


Thank you so much,
I'm desesperate.

What time in the day do you take Omeprazole (and what dose?) and when is the dosing in relation to the next meal? The timing is very important for a good effect. You should take PPIs in the morning 45 min before you plan to eat. You will need a high dose for a month at least, with perfect timing on the dosing.

Omeprazole only works when your stomach is trying to produce acid, which happens when you eat. This is why you need PPI 45 min BEFORE the first meal, so it's in your system and ready to act the instant the stomach tries to release acid. If you take it WITH breakfast, it does nothing, as the acid is pumped into your stomach before the PPI has even been absorbed.

I haven't taken famotidine but it's a H2 antagonist and you would be best taking that late at night to stop breakthrough while you sleep. The inclined bed is good until you get on top of things.
