I never had heartburn either. Wound up with Barrett’s esophagus. I’ve taken PPIS to heal ulcers but took only for 14 months. I’m on Pepcid an H2 blocker. There are multiple side effects from PPPIS.

Is the Pepcid working for you? I’d like to avoid PPI, but have chronic sore throat which I believe is an acid issue.

Just found this thread. I have suspected LPR, according to ent, and short barretts, visually on endoscopy but negative for barretts on pathology after 5 months on omeprazole.
My ent recommended a plant based diet but with animal protein in small portions 2 to 3 times a week. He also recommended reflux gourmet, which has sodium alginate, to create a reflux raft above stomach contents and keep acid in stomach. I found esophageal guardian by life extension which costs less and works better for me. I take it at bedtime.
Waiting to hear from GI that I can wean off omeprazole, which I already stated doing every other day. So far so good.
