what could the gastroenterologist possibly do to help in this case? i do have GERD and fragmented sleep, after having gone to multiple gastroenterologists, i still haven't got help for this particular issue. any suggestions? it would massively help me.
A gastroenterologist should treat GERD (to the extent possible) then we should be checking sleep. As soon as GERD is under treatment a consultation with a sleep laboratory could be considered since some reflux may still happen during the night and may result in (mostly central apneas).
