I'm looking for a good gastroenterologist in Riyadh to correctly diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease. I've been on PPI for roughly 3 months but unfortunately it did not solve my problem. Please let me know if you know anyone ASAP.

Thank you :)

Good luck in finding the right place.
I kopped for a dose of that as a result of a physical trauma so I know what it's like.
My went away as the damage healed but I gather many people suffer it for years.

To all posters on this section.

If you have any suggestions for the OP, please reply to the thread.
The disease doesn't sound like much when you read its name but it's nasty, painful, and can last a very long time. It took about two months to get rid of mine as it was caused by physical damage, but it was a nasty couple of months I wouldn't like to repeat.
Long and the short, your stomach acid gets into the oesophagus, that getting digested by the leaking acid - 'painful' would be an understatement and your digestive system is an absolute mess.

Urgent - Yes, I would agree.
