Hi and welcome to the GERD forum
I would suggest a food journal so u can see if there is a pattern to how u feel after eating certain things, not all of us react the same to the same foods....so something u r still eating may be contributing to how u r doing....even if it is considered "safe".....so do some testing of ur own to see if u can figure it out.
Also lifestyle issues like stress can cause u to flare with symptoms even if u are on meds....so try and relax and see if it helps.
If the symptoms continue to worsen,it could be these meds are no longer working for u, some of us the PPI's do not work, so ur Dr may want to try diff meds if this continues...keep ur Dr and us posted.
Is this an acute or chronic illnes? My dr said I have esophagitis caused bt acid reflux..is this a life long thing or just a one off event?
HI....I do know with some damage from reflux can be healed, u do have to modify ur diet and lifestyle and take the meds Rx'd to u......
With esophagitis there are different grades of severity...so u really need to ask this of ur Dr.....as he/she will be able to tell from testing that was done.....
He said I have mild grade esophagitis after doing an endoscope..I do not have any symptoms of GERD besides upper abdominal pain and bloatedness..no heartburn or trouble swallowing or any of the typical GERD symptoms
There is a form of reflux that does not always produce the typical heartburn, so that does not mean much,....it is often referred to as Silent Reflux.....LPR
AND keep in mind even if u do not have LPR, u may not have ALL the symptoms as we are all different.
What is important is if the acid is there it can be doing damage, even if u r not aware of it....so do follow all ur Drs suggestions.
