Acid Reflux and its Symptoms: Are they chronic?

I’ve had chronic digestive disorders w/ 6 diagnoses one being GERD and Gastritis , IBS , Esophagitis, …. 6 Gastro Dr’s , even Mayo Clinic Jacksonville recently for more tests . I deep wet belch over 2000x a day/ night / my gut and intestines never stops churning loud . Wakes me up ⬆️. I sleep propped up 3 pillows . Eat so clean and do everything right . Still I have been sick w/ this everyday for 8 years. No more tests to do . No diet ( I’ve done all the elimination diets ) , no RX to help now , I’ve tried every holistic treatment and diff herbs and pre and pro biotics .
It’s ruined my life pretty much .
I’m always filled w/ gas . So I’m a medical mystery. I just turned 60 ( look 53). I pray 🙏 everyday for a days relief 🥲 here and there , but it doesn’t help . I hope someone can help you .

@rozy288 - Has there been talk about problems with gastrointestinal motility, abnormalities with how food is moving through the GI tract?

Yes I had 5 hr stomach emptying study 4 years ago at Duke .
Plus soooooo many other GI tests in 8 years. ;( it’s getting hard to live with.

Thank you , nothing helps me . I do go through a bottle of Ultra Pepto every week for 7-8 years . So my stool is always tarry and black . I’ve tried everything they make for gut health .. a laundry list . Yes all the RX’s too . It’s just amazing that how healthy I eat and never eat fast food , no caffeine , low dairy , low sugar , lots of water . We rarely even go out to a nice restaurant or lunch because I’m so limited on what I can eat . I’m just as bad when I’m on empty stomach though .
My belches are thousands and huge , wet .. my gas is so loud on my intestines, esp at night . It goes for hours and hours .
I’ve even done hypnotherapy 3 x . Didn’t work . I can’t be hypnotized. I’ve done some acupuncture. Tried medical marijuana gummies ( hated it ).
Tried High end CBD … nope .
I’m so fatigued in day and hungry all the time . I have anti anxiety med because this really gets me down ( also tried antidepressants for a few months over the years ( diff ones ). I take Ambien 5 mg to help sleep but I wake up 3 hrs later and then it’s hell .
I’ve prayed for years for healing, even temp healing . My kids are both getting married w/ big weddings April and Sept and I’m not even excited because of what I go through daily/ nightly.
I hope you get your full answers. You are nice to ne concerned. My poor hubby has to deal w/ me because of this . It’s no fun for him for years now too .
What helps you ?
God Bless you….

@wreath , I cannot have that Lynx procedure as I have way way to much gas build up ⬆️ in my body on a daily / nightly basis . I need to be able to Belch over and over to release it . I don’t have Acid reflux , so no acid is coming up into my throat or mouth . It’s just constant churning and non stop Loud horrendous gas noises in my gut and small intestines that cause 1000’s of deep , belches . When you get LYNX you are unable to belch out the gas out . Sometimes my gas goes out the other way but more often it’s very deep non stop 🛑 burps . I don’t get nauseous too too much but you also cannot throw up if you get LYNX ( it’s dangerous because of aspiration).
It doesn’t matter how healthy I eat ( which I eat extremely healthy), or if my stomach is empty. The problem is always there .
It makes it hard as my husband and I can’t really socialize or go out to eat once in a while like we used to be able to do .
It’s especially bad in middle of night or right before I wake up at 6 am -8 am . Also from 1-4 pm .
It’s just a real mess .
A medical mystery…. All my diagnoses but nothing can help me .
It’s a hard way to live , that’s for sure .
Glad your husband procedure worked for him . He’s one of the lucky 🍀 ones . Thanks.

@rozy288

I am very curious as to what your “extremely healthy” diet is… could you give me a couple of days or so of example menus of what your diet is?
