  Hi Heidi and welcome to the GERD forum.

16 is not an easy age to be...as a teen there are stresses that could cause you to have acid reflux.....Do talk to your parents and Drs.I know you have had testing...but you do need to also look at your diet, and stresses to see if it could be the reason for your "bubbly" feeling in your stomach.

Try to elevate the head of your bed to help when you go to bed....4 to 6 inches and it should help....also DO NOT lay down until 3 to 4 hrs after you eat.

And also try to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day instead of 3......

Good luck and keep us posted.
