I am looking for help. I have had chronic gerd for five years now. I can only eat a very
restricted diet and I have many other consequential problems. I am young (28). I have visited as
many sites as I can find on the internet in my country and all over the world. There doesn't seem
to be a solution in my country (Italy) without surgery - which I am reluctant to resort to, as the
outcome can often not be beneficial. I am using esomeprazole,but it has many, almost unbearable,
side effects on me.

If the various medication regimens and life-style changes (diet, weight loss etc) have failed to
control your GERD at age 28, surgical options are really all you have left.

Consider looking at alt.support.heartburn here on usenet. Many of the posters there share your
frustration and they have a variety of remedies that may be of help to you.

The surgical options I know about seem to me to be very primitive and *all* irreversible!

Thank you for this
I have looked there

Does anyone think that the prospects for treatment in the US are superior to those in other
countries (I am thinking of Italy!) as I seem to have gone as far as I can go there.

Would anyone like to suggest what gastroentereological medical centre has the best opportunities for
treatment there, as I am considering a visit?
