So sorry that you are in so much pain still- have you told the doctor that prescribed the medication for you? It's very important that you let them know that you are still in pain. I hope you are able to get some relief soon!
That's good news! I've found too that dietary changes can help with gerd. This includes losing a bit of weight if you need to, don't eat a lot of fatty foods, give up pop, don't eat late at night. Glad you are feeling better.
