I would get a second opinion from a GI who specializes in GERD. I am confused from your message. Are you seeing a GI now? Have you had an endoscopy? Are you following any established dietary recommendations for GERD?
Hi yes I went to GI I had a endoscopy and a biopsy because there is inflammation found no cancer,hernia,ulcer.Since last may changed all eating habits follow a gerd diet.Was taking 20mg of omeprozol every morning 30 min before breakfast but no matter what I did I would still get some heartburn my GP just said take extra tums so I said I to her back in Jan I felt I needed to see a GI doctor she said take more meds I insisted I go to GI had a endoscopy and a colonoscopy done .GI put me on pantoprazole for 2 weeks 40mg -I was fine for a few days and then getting some heartburn so she said she wanted me to up it to twice a day for 10 weeks and then she would see how I feel.I am getting more burning and it now is waking me up at night.I will call her just didn’t know if this is something that get worse before it can be better.Thanks
Hi
I have Gastritis & I have a burning feeling in my stomach. Does drinking water make your stomach burn more?. Mine does & they don't why.
I have been dealing with this for years so I hardly drink water which is causing my kidney GFR to go down. No dr. can understand why the water burs me worse than a coke. I understand what your going through.
Try drinking unsweetened almond milk which is also alkaline. It's dairy free and healthy for you at only 1 carb per cup.
I started trying to get off it as i have been taking it for 6-7-8 who remembers how long. I started having a tightness in my throat, like something is laying on the back of my throat or tongue. I might take one every few days. LATE YESTERDAY i had to take one as the so called heartburn hit me some time after my afternoon coffee. Apple juice also seems to help a little. I waited for dinner just had a light salad I am not going to take one today, we will see how it goes. Coffee is a pleasant habit until it isn't .
JK, that’s awesome that your Barrett’s is in remission just like mine. The low acid diet does work! Keep up the good work!
Would it be that instant Decafe like Nescafe would have no acid at all
No, it has a high acid content.
Soda and alcohol are very bad for Barretts. My wife has been eating my low acid diet and she has diabetes and her last A1C wa 5.9

The baby aspirin could be causing inflammation.
