HXFi, I’m an 18 yearold female and I have been suffering with chronic unexplainable reflux and now esophagitis for the past four months. I have tried pretty much every medication on the market that was suggested to me and have been through a battery of tests, some of which were repeated multiple times but not much has come of it. I have made lifestyle and diet changes but none of that has helped either. what should I do next? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
hi im just curious, if you don’t mind me asking what kind of tests did you have?
endoscopy
ultrasound
ph test
xray
hormone level check
biopsies of my esophagus
stool sample tests
gallbladder function test
brain and spinal MRI
other miscelaneous blood work… etcetera
Also, at first they thought I had a hiatal but they supposedly confirmed that wasn’t the issue.
Hello. I have had reflux for four years. I’ve been treated now. Have you ever tried Nortriptyline?
Isn’t that an antidepressant?
Yes. Acid reflux that does not respond to treatment usually has a neurologic root. I tried many treatments like ppi and antidepressants like ssri. Finally, I only improved with nortriptyline.
** has anyone tried CBD oil for reflux? v
