Persistent GERD
I am 36 yrs old, non smoker, non drinker, weirght- 67 kg and other than occasional IBS I have no other major health issues as such.
I have been experiencing Acid reflux for last 3 years on & off ....and was completely dependent on Nexium & Cyra D. During a major Acidtiy attack about a couple of years ago I had got my endoscopy examination done ( diagnosis : Esophageal erosion)and my gastro put me on medicines for H pylori as well but Eventually I did not get relief overall from acid reflux and only thing working for me was PPi's only But then an year back I ended up eliminating all milk products on a dietitians recommendation and started getting relief and was completely off PPI's . But since last month , the acid reflux is back and despite no milk product consumption , I am getting the same symptoms like last time. Please suggest

Hi....
Avoid foods and drinks that trigger heartburn. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your heartburn.
Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals.
Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed.
