I have had acid reflux for a long time for about 30 years on and off didn’t think much of it until I got depression and started stressing over a passing of friend i had andioscopy and colonoscopy done and was diagnosed with gastritis where I lost 40 lbs in less then a week the the doctor told me my stomach was producing too much acid all his medication didn’t help me every time my stomach burned i stressed every time i stressed my stomach burned a friend of mine told me to take proxitine for my stress after i got the medication from my family doctor in about one to two weeks my acid reflux went away i started to regain weight and was back on my feet i had a bee bite and the doctor prescribed me a heavy dose of untibiotics and killed all my good bacteria in my stomach i sometimes blame that for my gastritis and every morning for about a week i took a shot of raw potato juice one hour before breakfast and always i had with food low-fat plain yogurt for probiotic it worked out great for me whereas the Gastrologist wanted to do surgery and didn’t even know what was going on stress is the mother of all diseases i hope sharing my experience will help a lot of people Mayo Clinic is also the best place to get good advice thanks please get back with me if i can share more always a pleasure

Very well said, "stress is the mother of all diseases." this is why CBT wich helps with framing our problems and concerns and worries in proper perspectives helps.
As well, as Plato said long ago, part cannot be well unless whole is well. So since there are so many other little "mothers of diseases" like playful enjoyable activities, both mental and physical (I do brisk walking at least 30 minutes a day, or stairs in my bldg, or some kicking of imaginary soccer in my apt) it's upto your imagination) meeting with community group over coffee (social connection, another "mother" that many psychiatrists believe is the reason behind overdose deaths.
With a busy, mentally and physically, body we get hungry that's when a healthy food is body often likes; without such hunger the outcome may not be what we wish. That's what seems to have worked for me for eight decades...without meds, tests, surgeries, and rare doc visits.
I wish you find your enjoyable life we all can and want.
