For the past 3 months I have been battling stomach pains & digestive problems. Also experienced pain under my left rib cage Went to a couple doctors and had many test (H.pylori ,Lower GI scan,Blood Work,Barium Swallow test,CT scan etc all came out clear with nothing wrong. Docs told me that I have Acid Reflux and the pains under my rib maybe be signs of ulcers. So they gave me Zantac 150mg to take for 8 weeks. Strict diet. Rib pains gone. Need natural ways to cure acid reflux. HCL,enzymes, etc
