while prilosec or gaviscon--or even pepto-bismol--might help the reflux as well as the stomach pain if you have chronic pain when eating there is a possibility that you might have a peptic ulcer. generally pain increases whenever food is consumed (ie. when your body initially begins production of gastric acids in order to start digesting your food) and can be excruciating. addditionally i would speak to your physician about the possibility of gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease) as a diagnosis. some possible treatments for gerd include 2 classes of drugs called h2ras (histamine type-2 receptor antagonists) and ppis (proton-pump inhibitors) which actually cause your stomach to produce less acid making it less likely that you'll get heartburn in the first place. some h2ras include pepcid ac zantac and tagamet; some ppis include prilosec prevacid and nexium. while some otc's may provide short-term relief i would look into treatment options with your physician. as always speak with your physician before commencing any course of treatment.
