Changes...: First and foremost is to change your diet habits.Avoid any food that is greasy, fried, spicy; sauces, caffeine, mint, chocolate,too much bread,all of which can trigger these symptoms. If you have changed your diet and at this dose the medication is not working then it is time to have further evaluation.An abdominal ultrasound and an upper endoscopy should be done. See a gastroenterologist for this
