That is a good question. I have gall stones. I get pain in the area of the gall stones but my doctor says it sounds like heartburn. I take one prilosec a day but she said if in the evening if it is bad enough it is ok for me to take another one once in a while. I am taking a supplement to hopefully help the gall stones pass my chiroprator reccomended. He says you have enough pain already so you don't need that to. So my personal experience is I think I still get hearburn but having the gall stones seems to intensify the pain for me. Hope that helps.

Yes, if you have astone come out of your gallbladder and it's going down your intestines or anywhere else in your body that would block everything from going through it will cause everything to back up and it will also make the acid from your stomack back up and reach the top of your stomach causing heartburn. I had this happen to me and that was the explanation the doctor that did my surgery gave me.

I get really bad heartburn and indigestion the day after an attack, it is the last thing that you need after a night of pain! I use over the counter medication as well as omniprazole (I think that is how you spell it) which the doctor prescribed. Hope things get better xx
