holistic dr. told me if the acid problems do not clear up she is gonna treat with nystatin for yeast..
does yeast cuase burning /ulcer like syptoms? i was just endoscoped - saw no ulcer - neg on hpylori tho i am skeptical b/c dr didnt take me off previdid prior to scope- have read that can mess up the test.... anyhow, in nov burning stomach came on suddenly and now the burn is just in chest area and right under ribs....
I saw a post where jazzlover mentioned yeast..
any/all info is welcome!!!!

Yes! When I was scoped, my GI Dr was actually looking for yeast in my esophagus. I had just come off antibiotic treatment for a UTI and then I had severe burning in my stomach and esophagus.
He ordered the scope and gave me Mycelex lozenges for the supposed yeast. By the time I got to the scope the next week, I was much improved .. and the scope was clear.
Nystatin is more of a preventative, Diflucan is for killing yeast.
