Will my gerd ever go away? had it for over 2 years on and off but its gradually getting worse. ive tried everything. ppis, lifestyle changes, diet, but it keeps coming back and affecting my quality of life. any advice?

I assume you're treated and followed by a gastroenterologist. You may have nonacid reflux. Perhaps a second opinion by a gastroenterologist with a special interest in GERD, most likely at a department of gastroenterology at a university hospital near you, would be worthwhile.

I have had GERD for 12 years been on ppis since then. I am 32, 6' 175lbs. Considering nissen fundoplication to get off ppis and help with regurgitation. Tests are good but I am hesitant, any advice?
Is a toupet fundoplication a good option for refractive GERD not controlled with PPIs and antacids despite diet changes? Are the side effects (gas, bloating, risk for dumping syndrome really high) from the surgery and possibly worse than the GERD?
I am a 51 year old woman. I have GERD, have used Omeprazole daily for over 20 years. The medication no longer seems to be helping as I have acid reflux constantly. I also have IBS. Is the PPI causing low stomach acid making me worse? Should I stop?
How long on PPis does it take to heal from GERD & LPR? I am on a liquid and pure diet because I feel like solid foods get caught/stick in my throat.
I have chronic gastritis. After several endoscopies, I had it 4/6 times. No h.Plyori, but am on chornic ppi use. Over 7 years. Im 29 now and worry. What are chances of me getting cancer? No family history, but have severe gerd so cant get off ppi?
