Specializes in Gastroenterology

Follow up…: ...with your gastroenterologist. If your pain was truly due to acid reflux or the ulcer, it would be likely that the Dexilsnt would have controlled the symptoms. It is possible that another cause of the pain is contributing, and further testing may be necessary. Good luck.
