Do the stomach problems get any better?

22M and had a few incidents in semi-recent memory that have made me decide to really give taking an extended TB a shot and fixing my life. That said, after 4 years of consistent and heavy use (at my worst, I burned through a 1g vape cart inside of 4 days, sometimes as low as 2) my stomach has been left pretty worse for wear. Now, I've done pretty much every conventional form of weed imaginable (not RSO though... too spooky for me) and had a bad habit of pairing it with alcohol for a bit, so I'm not surprised that something had to feel a little off.

Some of the troubles w my stomach include EXTREMELY persistent gas, transient nausea, as well as random acid reflux (though usually provoked by salty food or sugary drinks, especially alcohol). Though I haven't seen too much info about these sorts of symptoms online, some of my old high school friends had similar issues. I'm not surprised, especially since most of my HS friends are still heavy smokers whereas I've managed to somewhat taper between relapsing into heavy use and having somewhat extended abstinence periods.

My question to you guys is this: has anyone ever had these sorts of symptoms before, and if so, did you ever manage to get over it in a way that DIDN'T involve microdosing weed? I've had a battery of tests done (no H. Pylori present, and a clean colonoscopy too) and truthfully I can't see my current gastric woes being anything but the weed. I've also overhauled my diet to include more fresh food and less salt, but I could probably afford to cut further back on my salt intake too.

Hoping someone out there has been through this, it's been really hard and significantly impaired my ability to work without fear of throwing up (which has happened before at work, alas :/)
