I have GERD and acid reflux. I have had an upper GI, which I failed, and also a gastric emptying study, which I also failed. I am having a Bravo test in two days which requires me to be off my Nexium, Zantac, Motrin and aspirin meds for a week. I am on day 5 and it is 4:15 am and I have had acid in my mouth and throat for six hours now. I can't get rid of it and the burning is driving me crazy. My salivary glands are working overtime and the saliva is thicker. Is there something I can do to calm the dragon until I get tested?
Q: How can I stop the acid in my mouth while I am off my meds in preparation for a Bravo test in 2 days
