Mastic Gum: If you have GERD, Mastic Gum (available in a health food store) should help. 1,000 mg per day for at least two weeks. That should eradicate H. pylori, the spirochete that causes GERD, ulcers, and stomach cancer. Mastic gum also heals gastric and duodenal ulcers. GERD may be related to your pulmonary problems, as you have likely aspirated the gastric contents, causing inflammation of lungs.

Regurgitation Blues: Dude, you need to see a G.I. doctor (or another one). Regurgitating food for that long?Maybe there's a structural problem with the way your esophagus attaches to your stomach that medicine alone can't help--or something else. And you've probably regurgitated in your sleep, causing lung irritation and that wheezing.Also, chronic irritation to your lower esophagus can eventually turn bad, really bad
