For those of you who have not found relief from your symptoms, consider a functional medicine doctor. After 3 endoscopies and taking meds that caused side effects, I was told to never take a PPI again (Proton Pump Inhibitor. )
I turned to functional medicine and testing revealed root causes of my symptoms. You can find a functional medicine doctor by city and state at ifm.org. It’s been tremendously helpful for me.

@gigi4 Thank you for sharing. What type of tests helped you find your root cause? If you took PPI did they recommend you gradually stop or were there other supplements you took to help in place of the PPI. I guess it might determine if it was an OTC PPI or prescribed PPI?

Can you offer state you found functional med doc?
Few around me.
