hi, the symptoms you are describing sound like you have acid reflux the medications that you are taking should be helping you. therefore i suggest you go see your gp as you could have have an ulcer and need some tests to see what is going on. also there is an infection that people can get which makes stomach problems worse. this is called helicobactor pylori, dont worry it can be diagnosed with a breath test which your gp can arrange and is easily treated with a course of medication. hope this helps

Sounds like the acidity problem is caused by the gas problem. What i would do is get an over the counter product called Gas x.It breaks down and prevents the formation of gas( ask the pharmacist if it is OK to take this with your meds).If he says you cannot combine the meds, i would ask the doctor if i could go off the meds you are on and try this method. This should help relieve the acidity problem.The next thing to do is to raise the end of the bed where your head rests about 2-3 inches.Just put blocks under the legs. If overweight,lose it.It really helps.

Stop the meds and try this: Next time you have acid reflux take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. If your problem goes away it means you don't have enough acidity in your stomach. If it worsens then you have too much and need a new medication! See/call your doctor whenever syptoms worsen or meds no longer work. It's time for a new approach. Good luck!

This is a natural program that you can try to cure your acid reflux http://acidreflux.toptips.org
Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs due to the coexistence of several medical and lifestyle conditions. Physiological factors that trigger GERD include lower esophageal sphincter (LES) hypotonia (the gradual weakening of the LES), along with retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, and the level of sensitivity of the esophageal mucus to the reflux content.

milk, ice cream, yoghurt, cereals... thats wat you need! oh, and stay of the citrus fruits and fried foods!! whenever it hurts, drink a glass of double cream milk... works for me. I had a problem of overacidity in the stomach and used to get stomach pains, after years of doctors consultations, all they could suggest was a change of diet as above. dairy products are your friend.

You should see a Doctor, you probably have an Ulcer!
