Have a biopsy! A true diagnosis cannot be made without tissue samples.
Aloe juice seems to soothe my stomach but what works for one may not work for another. Same with medication. Some can take Nexium and be fine with it, Nexium made me worse. Others swear by Protonix, this too made my symptoms worse. Prevacid seems to be the worse for me.
I didn't have a sleep disorder per se but I did have difficulty sleeping because of the burning and discomfort.
And I did lose weight, 15lbs but I gained most of it back. Losing weight is pretty normal when symptoms are bad.
