Are you avoiding trigger foods - coffee, chocolate, mint, thick red tomato sauce, wine. Sometimes a person needs to eat 5 small meals instead of 3. Chew slowly. Also it could take about a month to two before you see improvement. Hopefully the test in January will give doctor more info. Have you had a esophageal manometry test? I found out that I have that in addition to a HH. There's a new drug that was recently approved that's different than PPIs. It's originally from Japan. Vonoprazan is the name.

I have avoided trigger foods since August 3rd when I found I had LPR. Im not a drinker. I would have the occasional soda that’s all. I’m on a low fat, low acid diet. And I’ve lost 30lbs 🙁 I’m now 105. I have always been a slow eater. That eats small meals. I have recently started to had a small snack between lunch and supper. I eat supper before 5pm to give it time to digest before bed. I have not had the manometry test. That was one of the test my GI doctor suggested after the Bravo. Thank you for replying
