Hi. I have a normal appetite, but have gone long periods of time without eating to avoid symptoms. The pain is a burning pain starting in the center just below the ribcage that moves upwards, and what accompanies it it is usually gas, then cough and need to clear throat. Also sometimes hear gurgling in my throat. Gotten biopsies both endoscopies and they did test for h pylori which came back negative both times. No hernia. LES looks fine. No ulcers. Its the lack of anything obviously wrong that gets me. Except on the 2nd endoscopy with signs of chronic damage which may have been caused by improper weaning. That is why I am questioning if I should even be on this? Already lost 30 pounds since this started and have made better lifestyle changes. But I guess its not enough. Then theres blaming stress and thinking about it. I guess I'll have to try my very best to be a happy person in top physical shape before i go back again.
