It was explained to me that all this erosion that has probably been going on for a long time has gotten your esophgous inflammed and raw. It doesn't want anything new on it and things aren't moving thru your system like they should. I agree with Yankee Rose on the meds. My stomach got better on Prevacid, Carafate and Reglan but it did take 6 months or so. The LPR thing is what I can't get rid of and harder to control than GERD. Both are affected by our diets and ever changing life style.
