Reflux: What medications are you on? Where you evaluated for for H pylori a bacteria that is commonly associated with GERD? For that you need antibiotics ( amox/ biaxin or flagyl/doxy/ bismuth) as well as anti reflux medication. Also check for gallbladder disease ( ultrasound) or pancreatitis ( lipase /amylase) as that can also occur and be mistaken for reflux. F/u /w/ MD
