I suffer from GERD. I am on Prilosec OTC (twice a day) which my doctor prescribed and 400mg of Cimitedine (twice a day) which was also prescribed by my doctor. I have stayed away from EVERYTHING that the doctor's have recommended for months: caffeine, chocolate, high fat foods, dairy,high salt foods, spicy foods, the list goes on and on. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I still get constant pain all the time. The problem is with my gallbladder and it over produces acid and that combined with the esophagus valve not functioning properly is causing my problem.
I can't have my gallbladder out right now. This same problem runs in our family, and everyone has had their gallbladder out and the problem has been resolved. Dr has already confirmed this is the problem, but it can't be done with the insurance I currently have.
I've tried: Maalox+Lidocaine cocktails, rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar, Vicodin, Tylenol, Benadryl.
Anyone have any ideas for stopping pain, so I can sleep?

Going to the ER will only fix it for right this minute. The pain usually comes back (sometimes worse) about six hours after what they give me at the ER. Would prefer not to go to the ER multiple times in the same week for the same problem.

sounds like you are doing everything possible to treat this problem. What's going to help you most at this time is to start taking digestive enzymes every time you eat. These can be purchased at any health food store I recommend you purchase capsules and not tablets as they will dissolve easier. To help your gallbladder use 1tsp. Lecithin granules in a glass of water 30 minutes before you eat. This will help reduce the acidity and it basically acts like a soap to clean out the gall bladder.

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://tr.im/Qj9dQ
The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.
