Acid reflux: Consider testing for h pylori a bacteria associated with GERD- though usually individuals have pain as well, hiatal hernia, food intolerances(gluten, milk) consider EGD-endoscopy. Avoid motrin like products spicy food, fatty foods chocholate,caffeine alcohol smoking, tight clothes . Consider adding famotadine or Carafate and increasing omeprazole to 40.
