Ever had your blood tested for H Pylori?If not that may be the problem.If you havn't had that test ask your doctor for one,H.Pylori can be taken care of with antibiotics!
Also,Try getting yourself a pro-biotic enzyme formula for yor digestive tract,it can do wonders.You get it at almost any health food store or an online store.

I am on acidpex, nystatin and acidopholis..someone outthere please help me. I live in ny on long island if you know a really good gastro. I do not drink any caffiene or coffe or candies. H.pylori was negative. I did see an alternative dr who is insiting it is h.pylori and B. homminus prasite but my dr. laughed and they do not know how to rid it.

Hi Itburns, I know how you feel. I too burn & my meds aren't working anymore. I'm going to try Aloe Vera & Slippery Elm. Even Gaviscon Antacid doesn't work it actually makes it worse. Dr's can't handle it when you don't fit into a neat little slot. Try some alternatives like the Aloe Vera/Slippery Elm have blood test for H Pylori (I did two days ago & I'm scheduled for a Barium swallow next week to look for ulcer, hernia etc. Keep us posted on how you're going.

For many years I have had to live with the heart burn. Sometime it is so severe after eating some sugary food, carries, and mostily after breakfast.
I also get pain in the chest that can almost be confused with a heart attack.
I have visited A&E on many occaisions only after ECG every thing looks normal. Then one day my GP surggested to test me for H.Pylori and the results came out positive a course of combined anti biotics was prescribed after 6 months the Doctor told me I was free from H.Pylori. To certain extent my symptoms improved but I had to be careful with what I eat.
In what I can only term as great luck one day my cousin came to see our new born baby. While she was having lunch with us I notice she took a full glass of water before food. When I asked her she simply said, never drink liquids afer food because it may cause a reflux from that day on I have followed her advice and my acid reflux have gone.
