Still nursing my 9 month old but I still have GERD from pregnancy, could it be hormone related?

[Athora80]

I developed GERD(acid reflux) somewhere in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy last year. 9 months postpartum, still breastfeeding and I STILL have reflux. It got to the point where it's caused me swallowing difficulties and I now have gastritis and esophagitis. I just recently got my period back this month and was wondering if maybe my GERD has something to do with my hormones being out of whack since my pregnancy. I was wondering if it was the hormones from breastfeeding perhaps? Either way I do not plan on stopping anytime soon. I refuse to take those scary prescription meds the docs want to shove down your throat as well. Anyone have any insight on this or have a similiar experience? I really hope it's just my body adjusting and it will go back to normal soon!
