I feel for all of you dealing with GERD. But I cannot emphasize enough how critical it is to get tested for the CAUSE of your GERD. I took PPI’s twice and on high dose Pepcid a few times but every time I went off, SYMPTOMS returned. There’s an enormous difference in treating the SYMPTOMS and treating the CAUSES. The causes do not not disappear by treating the symptoms in my humble opinion based on my experience.
Best to all of you!
