      it's so frustrating. my gastro doctor put me up to highest dose 5 weeks ago but I'm still burning daily with very little relief. I wish I cud find something that wud bring relief.

    I've had it in the roof of my mouth and my back. I sympathise, it's rough. I now drink coke and take a couple of gaviscon tablets a day and it has gotten me of prescribed medication. I hope you get it sorted soon, keep hoping, mine got better xxx
