Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, reports that there are 25 digestive disorders and some have the same symptoms. You can experiment with OTC-versions of prescriptioned medications to reduce stomach acid. Acid-reducer medications such as Prilosec, Nexium, Zantac, Prevacid, and others are available at any pharmacy. I have GERT, and I had an ulcer. I take one Prilosec, 20-mg, a day with no pain. Prilosec OTC, is 10-mg, is a good start. Take two if you later think you need it..
