have you tried liquid carafate? prescription.....kinda coats the GI tract and what about a proton pump inhibitor? Protonix is really good. when was your last upper GI with a barium study? just thinking out loud. i hope you feel better!

i wish i could give you the carafate. i have so much of it. you are without insurance? follow guidelines for GERD...make sure reputable site..national institute of health, etc. long term reflux can cause problem down the road......can you get into a clinic that does sliding scale payment? not sure where you live.....you gotta find medical care!!! please keep posting......

Ugh, I have GERD; hate it. I find that sometimes the basics work the best, have you tried TUMS? Probably a stupid question I know, but I figured I would throw it out there, just in case.
