Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | okay, so i guess i have acid reflux

did a search on this and found mostly responses to an old post of mine. guess this is more than a one-time thing. i had a little bit of burning in my stomach earlier today, but now, for i think the first time ever, i have a burning at the back of my throat. this is definitely acid reflux. thing is, i've eaten nothing but safe foods today. cereal and bagels and soy milk and rice - i'm still being careful after destabilizing myself last week, and these are all foods i know i handle safely.

so first, there's 'why is this happening with safe eating!?' second, though, is what to do about it. no more peppermint, right? (and i just bought a new box, too. no more peppermint, ever? i can mail you mine, if you like.) my dr. told me antacids can cause d - i'd been taking rolaids. but what about otc things like zantaz and pepcid ac?

my questions are:
*what can i do diet-wise to help? does water help? bread doesn't seem to. i think kate had mentioned club soda, but *i thought carbonation causes acid.
*what can i take for this that won't give me d?
and do i need to see a dr?

thanks. i worry that i'm slightly hypochondriac... or, at least, i worry i'll seem to be.
