thanks. iv tried every medicine there is to try. im currently on kapidex. it has helped with the acid but the pain is still there. they told me i have a motility issue. iv lost so much weight because its hard to eat any food. it is basically ruining my marriage because he can not understand what is actually going on. he has been there for me but i think he is getting tired.

might have to have surgery to fix it.
as you already know,,,elevate the head of your bed around 6-8 inches for sleep,dont eat at least 3-4 hours before bed....cut out the alcohol if you drink,,,,and watch the fried or spicey foods,as these irratate.
also...good posture helps if sitting at a computer or desk,and get on a good acid reducing medicine.
