Hi,
You have signs and symptoms of GERD with reflux esophagitis.
For complete relief of symptoms you need to take PPI twice a day for 4-8 weeks
Lifestyle modifications is also needed for complete relief of symptoms.
Lifestyle modifications -
1. Head elevation while sleeping
2. Small frequent meals
3. Going to bed 2- 3 hours after food
4. Avoiding bed time snacks
5. Avoiding smoking and alcohol
6. Avoiding tight fitting clothes
7. Avoiding cola, citrus drinks, carbonated drinks, tea, coffee, spicy food
8. Weight reduction
If there is no improvement a reevaluation has to be done with 24 hours pH monitoring test to confirm the diagnosis.
Once it is confirmed the last option is surgery.

Hi,
As I said earlier, if there is no improvement a reevaluation has to be done with 24 hours pH monitoring test to confirm the diagnosis.
Once it is confirmed the last option is surgery.
If you have little acid in the stomach, you wont be having symptoms of GERD and reflux esophagitis which you are having now.
