PH test: The most sensitive way to look into acid reflux is to undergo a pH study. This will tell you if you have acid reflux or not. An endoscopy is less likely to tell but it is important since it looks for damage to the esophagus.

Mastic Gum: H. pylori is a spirochete that is often responsible for GERD, ulcers, and stomach cancer. I recommend Mastic Gum, 1,000 mg per day for several weeks to eradicate H. pylori. Mastic is available in a health food store or on-line.
