Pindy,
What kind of tests have you had run? I did exactly what you are doing and it turned out that I had Gerd and IBS. Once the symptoms of IBS constipation were being treated, the reflux and spasms stopped. I now take Nexium and Miralax every day. I wont waste your time spelling out my symptoms since they look exactly like yours. I would however suggest that you go to see a gastro doctor. I could not eat normal amounts of anything on Nexium alone. No enemas or laxatives were cleaning my colon the way the perscription medication has done. Do you find fibers hard to digest? Does it feel like you are still digesting food, or refluxing it hours after you have eaten? Do the spasms start within 15 min to half hour after you eat? Do you feel a little relief with the enema as far as spasms or reflux? It really sounds like you are dealing with more that one thing here. Let me know how it goes and good luck.
