Hi there, I suffer from chronic GERD I've tried everything from doctors to OTC medication. I suffer from all of the symptoms, chronic sore throat, a raspy voice, blocked nasal passages and a very bad bitter taste in my mouth. I tried omeprazole for a few months but nothing changed. Has anybody had this condition before and treated it successfully?

Have you had an endoscopy yet ?

Could be hiatal hernia, and usually a simple fix. I have small one, and doc said simple fix if wanting. I just adjusted diet and sleeping position, which was enough.

If your problem, obviously a bit larger, but seems easy enough to fix, if the issue.

What KhunLA said is a definite possible. Here are links https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gerd/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20361959 that might help....................https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10658748/.

Thirty-odd year sufferer of GERD/GORD.
Omeprozole works for me.
My issues started with taking diclofenec in the mid- to late-eighties when "take with food" meant "with a glass of milk".
Great! Gastric ulcers at 22.
Gastroscopy at 32.
Scar tissue.
Omeprazole since ~2002
BUT, please bear with me...

Mixing milk and eggs;
Lamb and pork fat;

Milky alcoholic drinks (Bailey's, White Russians, proper Egg Nog, atholl brose)

Drinking coffee before eating something solid
and (most importantly)
eating less than two hours before bed.

You may want to stay on the omeprazole even if "they"say its detrimental for long-term use.
I'm not a medical doctor, but it's available OTC here for about 20-30 baht for a ten-pack. Maybe stay the course and take it in the morning, an hour before you eat or drink anything non-clear.

I'm thinking you might already have researched this, as you're a person who's conscious of their health. I took it for H Pylori for quite awhile until it started to have side effects, so I stopped and just continued with the probiotics, yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, turmeric and the healthy foods like I always have before. It does work as indicated, but I worried about the long term effects This is a link for you to consider..................https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10248387/.
