im having lots of pain with acid burning from my stomach to the roof of my mouth?

i have a hiatus hernia and i started nexium tablets 4 month ago but they don’t seem to be working, im still taking gaviscon on a night, apart from omeprazole and lansoprazole is there any other medication i could try, im due to see the specialist again in 5 weeks but the pain is unbearable, the specialist has recommended a fundoplication procedure but i feel as if its taking forever.

Diet is probably the only other thing that would be helpful at this point. You’re already taking two medications for the acid reflux. Limit spicy foods, eat low-fat foods, avoid acidic foods, too. Orange juice, tomatoes, vinegars, and alcohol can cause an increase in stomach acids.

Eating smaller meals may help as could eating more slowly. Wear loose-fitting clothing. Try to take a brief walk after eating each meal if at all possible. It will help speed digestion & hopefully make the reflux less intense.

Don’t lay down for at least at hour after meals, this can cause the reflux to be worse as well. This is especially important in the evening when a lot of us tend to have a snack before bedtime. The fundoplication will probably help, but until then I hope the above ideas give you a little relief. If you’re overweight start watching your food intake & get more exercise. Being overweight can make reflux much worse. With 5 weeks to go, call your GP & ask if they have any additional ideas.

I have HORRIBLE reflux, too. My reflux is getting better as I’ve changed my diet & started losing weight. I’m sorry you’re having so much trouble. I hope this info helps.
