Hi Gettysyork,I still maintain that you're experiencing irritation. You are under your doctor's care, and believe me, they wouldn't be playing around with PPIs if they had any thought that it might be something more serious than reflux. It can take months to heal esophagitis--it's not a quick fix.
Did you see my response to your first post, regarding eating? I included links to very useful information.(https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=45&m=2223226&g=2224908#m2224908)
I think you would benefit from eating a Nissen-type diet, taking small bites, and chewing, chewing, chewing your food until it's liquid and no longer abrasive.
Hang in there!
Denise
