Persistent Acid Reflux: Exploring Causes Beyond Medication


Question
Hi, it's me again.  I have been off the reflux meds for 4 weeks and I am no worse nor better than when I was on them.  Meds no matter what form, i.e.. aciphex with gaviscon did anything.  Specialist said he thinks it's the stress.  Can that be accurate?  I just want this to stop.

Answer
if reflux meds like Gaviscon and Aciphex don't help, then you need to look at other causes.... stress can be one... I can't remember whether you had your gall bladder looked at by ultrasound.... if you didn't, get that, if you did, then you might need a referral to a GI doctor for possible upper GI scoping of the stomach....
