Answer 1

Well sounds like to me that you need to see a gastroenterologist. You need to have an endoscopy. You might also ask to try Nexium.

Answer 3

I have battled the same problem for years. A year or so ago it got so bad that I began having anaphylactic throat constriction . This occurred primarily when I ate bread. I thought it was allergy so I stopped eating bread. I have come to realize that it isn't wheat but the YEAST.

Now, that I have cut yeast almost totally out of my diet I no longer have Acid reflux.

Mine would accelerate to coughing and vomiting.

The Doctor finally put me on Acitech for 1 pill a day for 20 days and it has been gone for 2 months now. It feels great.

Answer 4

For a while my husband took Prilosec. Then the medicine started making him sick.

Nowadays he takes papaya enzyme pills, which should be available at a local health food store. And when he stomach really gives him a fit, I fix Tension Tamer tea with a spoon of sugar, a spoon of honey, and a dash of powdered ginger.

Another thing you can try is a shot glass of some red wine before dinner.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Calmicid by Melaleuca. It is an antacid which contains calcium (soothes upset stomach), ginger root (helps relax the stomach muscles), chamomile (promotes a healthy digestive tract), and fennel seed (to dissipate stomach acid).

Not all meds work for all people. You may want to try another.
