I deal GERD on a daily basis & take 40 mg of pantoprazole in the morning. I use a wedge pillow @ night. I had my first gastritis episode last year while having problems with gallbladder. To get gastritis under control - my doctor had me take 40 mg of a PPI in the morning and evening for 1 month - tapering back to 40mg. A few years back I had a SIBO episode and was treated with a course of antibiotics. Have not had another one since. Have you tried sucralfate or Atrantil. Also probiotics help. Hang in there - I know its awful what you are experiencing.

Thank you @jackielb ! I do sleep on incline & stop all food & drink 4 hours before bed. I have tried to avoid omeprazole/pantoprazole because of my lung infection & osteoporosis, but after 6 years of this misery I would take anything to feel better 😬, No one suggested to up my omeprazole so I will ask about that. (I did take really good probiotics for a couple years, to no avail.) I had not heard of sucralfate or Atrantil - thank you so much for the suggestions, I will ask my doc about them. Thank you for taking the time to share!
