I have GERD so I can understand what you are going through. You may have to try different medications to find out which one works best on you. I had to try 4 or 5 different medicine before I found one that really worked for me. You might want to avoid trigger foods. It is different for everyone. The one website that I found really helps me is www.heartburn-help.com This is a website where people are going through the same thing we are.

Prilosec did NOTHING for me, but Protonix worked well.
after just 1 or 2 days.
anyway, i had similar symptoms - including the belching.
they eventually diagnosed not only GERD but very bad iron deficiency anemia. ( why burping and belching is a symptom of anemia i will never know)
anyway, since another symptom of anemia is eating lots of something strange (its called pica; i ate LOTS of ice cubes every day) that might be the problem.
you can also try Beano before meals and Maalox afterword, till the docs find some better answers.
