I also will get these pains sometimes after I eat. I burp a lot. Is this all part of reflux? The gall bladder is negative. http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/c/55992/18617/pain-blades http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/c/55992/18416/acid-reflux Sat, 29 Dec 2007 08:32:00 -0500 CoffeelessCathy Has anyone opted to have a surgical procedure done instead of taking pills the rest of their lives? I'm so tired of not being able to drink coffee, eat mexican food, chocolate, etc., It gets real old real quick. I'm on Prevacid 30 mg 1x a day. I take it around 5:30 each night. http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/c/55992/18416/acid-reflux
