White you're waiting for your doctor's appointment visit your local Health Food Store and purchase a Probiotic. I had many of the symptoms you have took a potent Probiotic (35 billion microoganisms per two capsules). I no longer have any problems but continue to take the product. It took about 10 days before I improved. I take it in the morning after breakfast. Some Probiotics need refrigeration.

You have acid reflux...

There are several options to help...( What may work for one may not help another)

Bean-O and digestive enzymes before eating.
Prescription drugs..
Diet change..

I cured mine through diet change ( I had all your symptoms and more)
I also take Bean-O and digestive enzymes before eating.

You may also have a stomach infection that can be helped with anti-biotics.

But yeah you do have GERD/LPS
And you can find help here...

hi again
just noticed that the pain ive been having, just on my left side around my lower rib, always in the exact same small spot, is getting worse. also have been constipated with a darkening of stools. am pretty worried, could it be a tumor? all th other symptoms seems to say so, or is this common with gerd. i dont think its an ulcer cos i was tested for h. pylori and im clear. Can anyone shed some light for me?
thanks so much xx
