Good luck. Hope you get a handle on it. Can't be much worse things than dealing with almost non-stop indigestion.

Alkaline water is awesome-don’t know if it will help you. It can be hard to find at the grocery store, I found one store around my house that sells it-it’s all I buy from that store, everything else is marked up!

I have had this test done many times. One is given a tranquilizer and then a scope is placed in the throat area. You are usually out so you don’t feel a thing. The hilarious part for me was my late partner had to drive me to and from the hospital and as the meds. were wearing off I did a lot of rambling. She had a good time and laughed at me later. And then it was her turn and the shoe was on the other foot! I have GERD and took meds for years. Now I am off prescription drugs but on over-the-counter medications. One thing you may want to look at is personal habits and food addictions as a way of diminishing the problem. Don't let them simply push drugs on you. If you want some suggestons let me know.

What’s the word? G-g-g-g-g-gerd gerd gerd Is the word
g-g-g-gerd Is the word
everybody knows about the gerd,
gerd gerd gerd Is the word

So sorry Sarah, that you’re suffering from this condition. Best of luck!
