You probably need a referral from your regular doctor to see a GI doctor so I would call up your regular doctor.
I have tried those & they do nothing. Should I make an appointment with my regular doctor or should I just go to a gastroenterologist?
It does sounds like GERD and you can try over the counter prevacid or prilosec to see if it helps. You can also try eliminating all gas producing foods from your diet like carbonation, beans, etc.
