I suffer quite a bit from it. Short term, Gaviscon's Gavilast normally does the trick for up to 12 hours. Long term, check out what you eat prior to getting it and cut down on it. Beer is my worst culrpit!

I think to test for ulcers, they stick a Hi-8 Digicam up your bum with no lube and maneouveur it until they find your stomach, and then they look 'round for any ulcers, before removing camera via your mouth (I think!)

I had the little buggers, so had a 2 week long course of antibiotics, which I was guarenteed would stop the burning (and there was no point testing for ulcers, as eradicating the bugs would get rid of all ulcers). Mind you, this is my local $hitty hospital I'm on about.
