Hi Dr.,
My questions aren't for me but for my wife. I'm trying to help her in the search for a solution to her health problems. She's been dealing with GERD / Gastritis for about 4 months now. We've seen a GP and 2 GIs. The GI prescribed Protonix, but it has not helped. Then he prescribed Caraphate and this also has not helped. We started doing our own research, changed her diet, but she's still not finding any relief. We have an appointment to see another GI who might be willing to search out other solutions, but that's not for another 2 weeks. In the meantime, my wife is suffering from really bad heartburn in her esophagus 24/7. Would love any help you might be able to suggest.
