hi there, i hear you... most of people were there. it will too pass with time. PPIs never helped me. what did help: regular yoga and deep breathing, reiki, acupuncture, ginger tea, licorice tea,...

hi there i finally showed all my workup to two GEs. Both of them looked at 24h pH study, monometry, stomach emptying and said there was nothing they can treat me for. Everything is not too...
Finally saw a GI after waiting for 6 months only to hear that there was no significant acid or reflux or any other glaring abnormalities. he could not explain any of my symptoms (stabbing/shooting...
