No Relief From GERD With Protonic And Zantac. How To Treat It?

I had an endoscopy yesterday because I have gerd with no relief from medication....and I have been on all of them for several years. I find that even water gives my heartburn. Is there anything you might recommend. It seems I can eat hardly anything. Am now on Protonic in morning and zantac at bedtime.

Hi. I understand this GERD diagnosis has been given by a Doctor.
I would advise such patients to take tablet Dompridone 10 mg at 8 hourly intervals, go for a bland diet, Not to go to bed immediately after food.
Avoid all beverages and food which enhances the problem, no smoking or drinking alcohol ( if you are dong )
You can take antacid gels 3 teaspoonful at 3 hourly intervals.
See the results within 3 days.
