GERD/Reflux/Esophagitis

I'm suffering with esophagitis as a complication of reflux/gerd.

Have been on Lansoprazole for 6 weeks from the doctor & he also told me to take gaviscon is I get epigastric pain.

I'm not happy to be on these drugs - but worried to stop them.

I've been trying all sorts of homeopathic remedies - phos, nat mur, carbo veg, lyc, ars, nat sulph, etc, so many, I can't remember.

So these are my symptoms:

Sore esophagus on eating - pain radiates to the back & then right shoulder.

Burping after food & drink (only water consumed)

Painful heartburn, but only at night - starting about 2am when gaviscon has worn off & then befor breakfast.hen gaviscon has worn off again.

Trying to eat little & often & have tried eliminating wheat & dairy, acidic foods, spicy foods, all caffeine drinks, tea, coffee etc etc all the recommended stuff.

Have raised the head of my bed the recommended height.

Heartburn really bad last couple of nights - but think this may be due to the fact that I've slipped with the dairy/wheat free diet last few days. Will go back to strict diet to be sure.

Am incline to discontinue all homeopathic remedies for a few days aas not sure what has worked & what has not.

Probable underlying cause - emotional stress/angst due to a number of failed ivf cycles this year & trying to come to terms with the fact that it's probably the end of the road here.

Had a similar bad bout of symptoms about 18 months ago when was told that would have to have ivf - had endoscopy & they just found minor irritation at the base of the esophagus & did biopsy - found Helico. pylori. Had erradication therapy - antibiotics & PPI - then as fine for over a year.

But - over-indulged over Christmas on comfort food - trying to feed my depression/grief etc & had a few drinks etc. So this probably triggered it. Also - had been taking daily aspirin for ivf - it's meant to increase the supply of blood to the uterus.

Anyway - have made all the recommended life style chages - diet, am good weight, etc etc, but still suffering even though am on the conventional medical treatment & despite trying numerous homeopathic remedies.

If anyone can please offer any suggestions/help, I'd be realy really grateful!

MAny thanks
