My whole digestive tract (from throat through bowels to rectum) is always gurgling. Doctor says it's likely IBS/GERD, but no medications work to stop it, I've tried antacids, gas-x etc, only thing that seems to work a little is peppermint tea?

Taking GERD medicine from 2 months but get it again as I skip medicine. New Dr. said LOW STOMACH ACID leads to acid reflux because LES only closes with right amount of acid in stomach. PPis and antacids only lead to further problems. What should I do?
