After stopping PPI due to low stomach acid and stomach pain, it seems my GERD came back to haunt me though I knew we would meet again at some point in the future, It seems I'm running out of options at this point, since Zantac and Pepcid don't help to much, I'm going to try to adjust my diet even further and see what happens though I really don't want to go back to PPIs, any words of wisdom would help greatly.

See your gastroenterologist. You may have other choices.

I found keeping a "Food Diary" with dates, times, everything I ate and drank,including things like condiments on burgers, was a big key in keeping my reflux under control. My allergist had me keeping track and we found I had a chemical intolerance. If I just avoid my food triggers symptoms are mostly gone. It takes a few months to figure out.

If that doesn't work you may need surgery.
