Q: not acid reflux but a nasty taste in mouth

Would something like Aciphex help.  I have taken that and I think it helps but then it returns.

A doctor familiar with reflux would be the best one to tell you which reflux medication may be right for you. Reflux medications do stop working over time, and sometimes an individual needs to "cycle off" of them, and then resume the medicine again to keep it effective. A healthcare provider familiar with reflux will understand this process, and will be able to suggest a treatment that you can stay on so your reflux is under control. Hope this helps! Reply
