I am on 3 meds for GERD and every few months I have constant stomach pain and trouble with digestion. Then, after many weeks, the meds start working again. Has anyone else had this? Its so painful and there's nothing more I can take; antacids just don't help. Please help!

I have this problem too. For me it is more like every couple of years, but my meds will stop working. I have been on Pepsin for a long time now, and It works like a charm. Maybe new meds? It took me a long time to find meds that worked for me.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
