Acupuncture: Have you tried this or thinking about it ?

Some of us who can't find relief with medications and no need for lifestyle changes and waiting upon other tests,Feel so frustrated in daily discomfort. I was suggested to try Acupuncture for heartburn, stomach aches, pain : So bad it has limited my work and enjoyment, So I must search.
Wanted this boards educated opinion.......
Or a Natural Doctor and try the DGL or Iberogast: But I think the latter continue alcohol.
Heres to better days

He was highly recommended by my neurologist. But I think I agree with the post above, it doesn't do much for GI pain, nor did it do anything for the spasms I was having due to the gi pain in the back. But I thought it was worth a shot, since I have heard so many people get relief from it.
His patients all seemed to believe in it, but I think my problems are way too complicated for Eastern medicine.
Can't hurt to try though.
What about a Naturalpahtic Doctor ? They run tests and work with Western as a guide. So sorry to let down my G.I. doctor by not finding a drug that relieves heartburn and pain So I can eat normal again. I do feel thankful for all the tests I have had.
What would a CT show ?
We just hoped to not only relieve But locate why ,
