You have gastroesophageal reflux disease and you are taking drugs for it.After increase a dose you felt some abdominal pain so consent your doctor for further suggestions.

I will advise you to do some diet modifications like....

Avoid spicy food ,citrus foods, coffee, chocolate...etc.

Drink more water per day.
Eat small amount of meal and chew properly.

Avoid immeadiatelying down after meal.
Elevate your head during sleeping.
