hey guys, thanks for always helping people out on here. My stomach acid problem i’ve had for about 3 years now, almost every single day feeling sick because of stomach acid coming up my throat. I’ve been to the doctors many times and i’ve been on omeprazole 20mg a day for quite some time, but has barely helped. I’ve already been tested for H pylori a stomach bacteria, but the results were negative. At this point my doctor has ruled out things like stomach ulcers etc. He basically now has told me “i have no idea, you should probably call a dietition and get them to recommend some foods to avoid”. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on this recommendation, and if it would be worth my time. Kind of feels hopeless now since my doctor can’t seem to figure it out, lol. Thanks in advance.
Have you undergone endoscopy or seen a gastroenterologist?
Thanks for the quick reply, no I have not. I assumed that would be something that my doctor would suggest.
I would have assumed your doctor knows to suggest that as well.
Okay well thank you for that! Not sure how I am going to approach this lol, but he is convinced my diet is the problem it seems. I remember asking if there was anything else he could do for me and he said yeah, but it might just give you an excuse to not worry about your diet.
