Looking for hope

I’ve seen some posts about people getting “cured” from GERD but I think that’s different for everyone. Has anyone been cured in the sense that they can eat normal food (a stew that has onions in it or risotto, nothing crazy like a garlic and tomato pizza) and if so how did you get there? I have my first endoscopy soon and I just don’t think it’ll change anything for me diet-wise. Been on meds on and off for 3 years now just don’t see anything changing. Thanks!
