GERD: The medications stop acid production in the stomach, and this is sometimes enough to relieve reflux symptoms. The medications do nothing however for stopping reflux, which is why many patients can have heartburn relief with meds, but no relief in regurgitation. You may want to inquire about endoscopic (stretta) or surgical (nissen fundoplication) procedures that can tackle to underlying problem.
