GI pain: Check for H pylori a bacteria that can cause GERD - pain will not resolve till treated w/ antibiotics. Check lipase/TSH/gallbladder/ food intolerances/CT abd. Nexium (esomeprazole) & omeprazole are the same class -do not recommend you take both , instead take Nexium (esomeprazole) and Ranitidine which are 2 different classes of drugs. Avoid spicy food, alcohol soda caffeine chocolate. Keep food diary. F/U w/doc
