How to tackle bad GERD?

I had my gall bladder removed in 2022 due to a big stone, which caused pancreatitis. I suffer with really bad acid reflux now and recently had an Upper GI endoscopy which revealed no esophageal abnormality, however there was a large amount of bile accumulated in the bottom part of my stomach which my doctor told me is one reason for my sever acid reflux. I changed from omeprazole to pantoprazole which did help the first 3 weeks after to switching to it, but now it's just as bad as before. I have made some changes with my eating habits and diet, but I am scared to eat anything now as it seems like whatever I eat I still get the acid reflux. The excess bile is the problem. Can anyone advise something for the excess bile?

It may take your body some time to adjust to not having a gallbladder. It took me 3 months to get my appetite back after having gallbladder removed. Drink Alkaline water every day - at least 16 oz a day + plus other drinks
. I get mine from Costco.
