Have you been presribed Lansoprazole?

Have you always taken Ibuprofen with or after food?

Have you been told to stop taking Ibuprofen?

Are you waiting for a Barium Swallow xray? If not, ask about this.

Have you been referred to a Gastroenterologist?

Ibuprofen should never be taken on an empty stomach.

Are you under a Medical Consultant or any other Specialist?

I was prescribed Zoton Fastab orodispersible Lansoprazole to treat damage caused by rising stomach acid. However, I have an Hiatus Hernia that I didn't know about and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. So not the same as in your situation. But if you are not well then I would keep going back to your GP.
