A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD: Often these symptoms are from Hydrochloric acid producing bacteria (H Pylori) that can cause reflux/acid stomach. First, eliminate acid foods, drinking alcohol, milk, spicy foods. You can trial with Zantac OTC or omeprazole 20 mg po q daily. If symptoms persist a blood test for H Pylori can be done and if positive usually an antibiotic/fungal regimen works.
