Bloody stool/vomit?: Do you have nausea/vomiting/Bloody vomit/black vomit/bloody stool/black stool? If you do, you definitely have a GI bleed. If you don't...??? you probably have gastric irritation from the high dose NSAIDS. You may need something stronger than Antacids...like Prilosec, Nexium, (esomeprazole) Prevacid.... See you doctor for help and treatment

Taking GERD medicine from 2 months but get it again as I skip medicine. New Dr. said LOW STOMACH ACID leads to acid reflux because LES only closes with right amount of acid in stomach. PPis and antacids only lead to further problems. What should I do?
