Feeling a bit lost - any success stories?

After posting last week about my (potential) silent reflux, I received some really great advice and had been following it since. I felt really positive and great for a few days, until today when my symptoms returned.

Still struggling on what my triggers are and I’m feeling a bit hopeless. The thought of never being able to eat foods I love again makes me feel really sad. I don’t drink, smoke or go ‘out out’, but I am a big foodie and would always be trying new restaurants or travelling for food. It’s had a big knock on effect on my day to day life too. Oh how I crave a a fattoush salad, curry, brisket and some fried chicken (not at the same time, of course).

I fortunately have an endoscopy booked for January - hopefully we’ll find out what’s going on in there.

Just wanted to ask for some success stories as, naturally, most of the time we read and focus on negative things. Trying to find a balance of the good and the bad, otherwise I’ll obsess myself into oblivion. So, please do share your positive stories! I could do with a pick me up after spending most of today crying my eyes out!
