Your doctor has told you that you have GERD. Not sure what the question is. Are you concerned that he blew off the gall bladder aspect? Or is it that you don't believe the GERD diagnosis?
Anyway.... since you are refluxing, you need to identify your trigger foods (you mentioned some in your post) and avoid them always. Then follow other basics, like not lying down until 3 hours after you eat, raising the head of your bed 6 inches, and taking meds (or progressing to surgery).
Good luck. I know how lousy you feel, and I hope you improve soon.
