@cranky_granny - my hubby also had horrible reflux (the pylori didn't help - it is a special regime of antibiotics that 'cures it'.) If the specialist didn't find any excess fluid in your stomach (digested 'liquid' food) that is a good thing. That inflammation of the oesophagus definitely needs an explanation tho.
Consider putting a brick under the top legs of your bed - it will elevate the bed 'just a bit' (but not so much you think you are falling down hill ....) and it can prevent the reflux from actually going up your throat (as liquid can't go 'up hill'.) That will also give any 'acid burnt' areas in your oesophagus a chance to repair - as this damage often occurs at night when you are flat on your back. Raising the bed should also help you sleep better. xx. Interrupted sleep is totally debilitating! :( We have both our bed heads on a brick (in a plastic bag.)
All the best with your ongoing tests & appointments xx. Let us know how you go xx
