Suggest Treatment For Discomfort In Throat With Orangey Bowel Movement

Hi, Im 41 years old and wiegh 106...my height it 5'4. I had the feeling of something stuck in my throat last March. Went to an ENT and said it was acid reflux. Went on pantaprazole and no relief. Saw a GI and had barium xray...they just saw a little acid reflux. Then had endoscopy which revealed H-pylori, gasitritis, and esphopagitis. Went on antibiotics...had breath test 2 weeks later, test showed h-pylori was gone. Still having throat issues and now I am taking dexicalant. After a few days I felt alot better and was so relieved. But last week my throat issues are back. Also I notice bowel movements are like an orangey shade (sorry for TMI). Just so upset and do not know what to do next? Aany advice? Thank you!

to reduce acid reflux
Lifestyle changes may help reduce the frequency of heartburn. Consider trying to:
Maintain a healthy weight. Excess pounds put pressure on your abdomen, pushing up your stomach and causing acid to back up into your esophagus.
Avoid tight-fitting clothing. Clothes that fit tightly around your waist put pressure on your abdomen and the lower esophageal sphincter.
Avoid foods and drinks that trigger heartburn. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your heartburn.
Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals.
Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed.
Elevate the head of your bed. If you regularly experience heartburn at night or while trying to sleep, put gravity to work for you. Place wood or cement blocks under the feet of your bed so that the head end is raised by 6 to 9 inches. Raising your head with additional pillows is not effective.
Don't smoke. Smoking decreases the lower esophageal sphincter's ability to function properly.
Relaxation therapies. Techniques to calm stress and anxiety may reduce signs and symptoms of GERD.
if these measures dont help go back to your Gastroenterologist for evaluation
