You think if i take this and it is then successful this will
definitely show I have GERD? It is worth a try, right? Thinking of
asking my doc for this, even though he isnt sure I have GERD.

Hi,

In my opinion, it's worth a try. Note that Prilosec OTC, which is available
over the counter, is omeprazole so there's no need to get a prescription.
Just call your doctor and let him know you are trying it. Typically, it
takes at least one week for it to start working. So I'd buy the 28 pill
package (20 mg) and start taking it once per day. Take it on an empty
stomach, like right when you wake up in the morning. Then wait an hour
before eating breakfast. After a couple of weeks, you'll probably know if
it's working. If after 28 days, you've experienced no relief, then it didn't
work. Whatever the outcome, you can let your doctor know how it went. Good
luck.
