What Is The Medication For Acid Reflux?
Im a 35 year old male with persistent lower left stomach pains. The Doctor sais it was acid reflux and/or IBS but the pain now seems concentrated in the left side and hurts when I bend in that area. I've tried to modify my diet and up my fibre intake but nothing seems to help. Hoping you can shed some light and perhaps advise what I should do next. I'm in otherwise good health but this is concerning me. Thank you
