GERD/Digestion? Help!

Question

I’ve been having digestion issues for the longest time now and whenever I bring it up to my HCP she says it’s just GERD/heartburn. I’ve tried eating smaller meals and eating dinner early but it still feels like my food is backed up ☹️ whenever I burp it sounds wet and my throat is stuck with food and whenever I try to throw up, nothing comes out... liquid is still able to pass and I have been pooping normally so idk what to do :

Answer

Hmm I have Gerd and it used to be really bad when I first started having symptoms but now I just know to avoid like everything that causes it chocolate ,strawberries, coffee, greasy foods like cheeseburgers,spicy foods  and when i do have that stuff I take Omeprazole and I drink a lot of water I also eat before bed really early so I eat like at least 4 or 5 hours before going to bed and nothing heavy and some times I sleep on like 3 pillows to elevate myself so that stuff helps. And actually I don't have any evidenced base stuff on this but I take  two tablespoon of mustard when I eat greasy stuff like when I get chick file a I'll take the whole mustard packet that comes with it it's gross you get used to it lol because my Dr told me to try to avoid taking Omeprazole because long term use isn't good for you.

Answer

Good diet helps the most especially dairy free and no soda 
But probiotics and digestive enzymes have been my savior 
I take synbiotic 365 (United naturals) Which is a vitamin probiotic blend. And I take an essentials stack digestive enzyme with every meal. Life saver. 
They prescribed me Pantroprozole for GERD and I will sometimes take it like while on vacation - but ever since I heard those kinds of medicines could be cancer causing I stay away. I believe it basically acts like Zantac where it stops acid / heartburn from coming up. But if I eat the right foods and take those supplements I’m fine.
