I've had acid reflex for several years. After a while, I got used to it. I thought it was normal. Then I developed a persistent cough. My coughing fits sometimes led to vomiting. My doctor diagnosed my acid reflex and sent me to a gastroenterologist. If your girlfriend has had persistent acid reflux symptoms, I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist. You may want to have an endoscopy to make sure that there hasn't been any serious damage done. I had one and then my gastroenterologist prescribed Aciphex. Their rebate covers my monthly insurance copay.
