    probably just GERD symptoms. You should start taking antacids and see if you improve, if not then endoscopy procedure..

      If nexium does not resolve things then go for another endoscopy. Couple of years ago is a long time. Your gut can change in months...

      Hey kelly,

      I get this and I think it's gas! I'm looking at ways to resolve the gas issues but it's truly miserable and so uncomfortable to deal with. It really puts me off eating when it's bad too. Hope you get some relief soon. Antacids don't always help, I don't want to be negative but they don't do much for my indigestion, they just help with heartburn.
