Possible reflux: there are other medications you can try out there like nexium (esomeprazole) or Prilosec. Observe if you have any acid taste in your mouth , or wake up with acid in your mouth at night. Do your have heartburn?This could point you towards reflux as a cause. You can try antacids like tums or mylanta or maalox but do not take them with Prilosec or the nexium (esomeprazole) as it inactivates the meds and will not work.
