I really would love to hear from someone else who is suffering from reflux despite taking a ppi that has cut out the acid. I was on ppis for 5 years than 4 months ago they just stopped working. Went to the doc, had tons of tests and said the acid is not reaching my esophagus but the muscles are not clearing out other types of reflux (food, etc??). I tried all kinds of medicine with little success (reglan, librax, etc). He has now said he doesnt know what other therapy to try and has refered me to another GI that specializes in motility problems. I cant get in to see him until the 16th and I feel so helpless. I've never had a doctor tell me he is out of ideas. I'm only 23 and I feel so depressed over the last 4 months. I watch what I eat, take DGL, papaya enzymes, acupunture herbs, etc. and nothing seems to make the chest pain/discomfort and indigestion go away. Seems like most people on this board deal with acid reflux but does anyone have non-acid relfux?
