Time for scoping!: Since your symptoms have returned, it is time to find out what is causing them. Treat the problem not just the symptom! Symptoms are not unique to a particular disease and many mild or serious diseases cause the same symptoms. Meds can treat symptoms and not the cause and mask serious or easily treatable disease. Find out what is going on now. Usually, it is something simple. Good luck!
