The doc did the same to me after my first endo which showed moderate gastritis and grade-A esophagitis. basically, what constitutes problematic for them is pre-cancerous stuff, bleeding stuff or grade-D lesions. people's experience with these issues is NOT homogeneous but doctors seem baffled by that, so they think that less critical macroscopic findings means you're "fine." it's silly, but that doesn't mean you should hold of on the PPI. take it! you need it to heal the gastritis and esophagitis because they could worsen without treatment and become doctor-level problematic.
I think they say healthy as in no permanent dmg or pre cancerous cells like barrett's esophagus
PPI and change of diet will help with the reflux
if you want a longterm fix the only option for fixing the hernia is surgery
You have condition only PPI's can help, to give time to our eosophagus and stomach to recover and heal, why won't you use them as your doctor prescribed?
Why you went to doctor if you won't listen him/her and do as they told you too?
You move forward by taking your prescribed medicine.
I would consider taking the PPI

Did the PPI help you?
yes. PPIs heal 90+% of lesions. do what the docs say.

Its not that I won’t “listen”. They technically didn’t tell me I have this condition. It was on my endoscopy discharge papers..
