I have recent diagnosis of gerd. it comes and goes no matter what my diet. i have stopped spicy foods and alcohol. on prilosec 2x day. why does it come/go?

Other triggers: Caffeine, soda pop, fried/fatty foods, chocolate can also trigger reflux. If you're overweight, that can exacerbate gerd. Reduce weight, exercise, consult with your doc about possibility of hiatal hernia.
