Had a scope exam?: Have you had a upper GI scope? Have you lost or gained weight? What happens when you take otc antacids? Are your bowel movements normal? Have you tried an elimination diet? Have you tried avoiding; dairy, gluten, high fructose corn syrup? Eating only organic? Keep looking for a cause. Good luck.
