I have GERD, and I have had since the week of my birthday last year.(5/19/05)Iam 13 years old. I have had zillions of tests over the summer, but they all said I was fine. I have constant heartburn, nausea in my throat, and just about everyweek my throat swells up. I have giving up spicy foods, caffine, soda, dairy products and all the other stuff..I get free medican because my mom works as a nurse somewhere.. Iam on and off nexium (I cant swallow pills so I open the pill and take it with food.) and I take ALOT of mylanta (I think I go through a bottle every 3 weeks?) I have currently gotten a weird feeling in my intestines/appendix I can;t put a finger on what it is, and under my ribs, and my sternum (or however you spell all that) Its bothering me very much i cant seem to put a finger on what iam feeling can you help please?

Look, as far as I know, if a person is not getting relief from the current treatments, he needs to have more tests to determine and find a better treatment.
How long have your suffered from the disease? Do you sometimes go into remissions?
Gerd symptoms usually come and go, and differ in intensity.
Has your doctor mention a surgery. Often, when a child doesn’t respond to the given treatment, a surgery may bee a good option. However, it is not known if surgery may be a permanent solution. Some report show that about 60% of people who had surgery had to take medications again.
But I guess this is something that your doctor and you need to figure out.
