Worried
I am worried about my acid reflux. It has been getting worse for a while now. I was on Omeprezole 20mg, but it wasn't working very well anymore. So, the doctor uped my dosage to 40mg and now that's working for the most part. Except my stomach still kind of hurts. So, I was thinking of trying that papaya supplement I saw. I keep hearing how much papaya can help people with digestive issues. It better work because i'm not sure what else to try. Regular over the counter antacids only work a little bit. They mostly just take the edge off. They're just not quite enough.

What you describe is so much like my own daughter (she is 18 1/2). She suffers from severe acid reflux as well and also take Omeprezole 40 mg every morning. But, what I am wondering is if, like her, your acid reflux is due to anxiety which is really the root of her stomach issues.
What has really helped her is Xanax XR, 0.5 mg in the AM because it reduces her anxiety levels thereby shutting down the gastric response. I am wondering if this would also work for you as it is a very good anti-anxiety med and you may feel relief from both the stomach issues as well as feel better with your anxiety. Just a thought!
