A member asked:

Been suffering acid reflux for over a month doctors don't know what's causing it been doctors 5 or 6 times altogether, what do you think it could be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reflux: Diagnosis is simple and can be made definitively by endoscopy and biopsies. Are you seeing a gastroenterologist. That would be my first suggestion. They can also rule out helicobacter pylori as a cause of your symptoms.
