Yes, unfortunately. I have severe GERD, before i started taking medicine that actually worked for it, i had that problem a lot when i'd take my vitamins/etc. Not plesant! The ONLY thing that works for me is Zegarid. I take one in the morning and one at night. I tried everything before that (prilosec, nexium, all the otc stuff....zegarid worked the best for me.) I normally have to take two a day though to keep it under control. With the Zegarid though- the pill thing doesn't happen!

Do you have reflux Bruce? If that happens often- maybe you could talk to your doc about what's causing it!

^ You could try the OTC Prilosec. Temporary fix at least.

Once... when I took them too late for a migraine. Acetaminophen tastes horrible.


And just the other morning I had a close call after taking a naproxen and a multivitamin on an empty stomach. Big no no, I don't suggest anyone try that.

The only otc stuff i remotely got relief from (and it didn't last for me- but you might not have it bad- so it could work for you) was Pepcid AC (or ad..not sure! get the strongest pepcid!) and Zantac 150 the new cooling one. They're ok. You may want to try Prilosec otc.
I'd talk to a doc before starting anything though! If it's less than 3 times a week- i wouldn't worry- but if it's more than that, i would seriously consider getting checked out!
(i hate docs too- but my GI doc has been a total lifesaver! I can actually function now!)
