Ok so I have gastric reflux, I got nexium for one a day and Domperidone 3 times a day for a month,ok so like one day after i finished the domperidon pills i felt no heart burn no stomach burning nothing.

I researched this a little, as my Dad has GERD. Cutting any fried foods, coffee (even decaf) and citrus/acidic foods (Oranges, garlic, tomatoes) is the first step. One that is often overlooked is gluten, which is found in wheat. Most people who cut grains, sugar and starch from their diets no longer report GERD symptoms. Basically GERD is caused by your diet. Even when doctors say "it’s caused by being overweight" that’s not what you should focus on. Being overweight is also caused by diet, so treat your diet – not your weight.

You are fine, dont freak out. I have GERD also..you just need to watch what you eat and drink. You can try taking some rolaids or you can drink a little milk to coat your esophagus.
you can get now get surgery to fix GERD maybe look into that…
GERD runs in my family (dad, and both brothers have it along with me) and they take omeprazole daily to avoid it. I on the other hand changed my diet and don’t consume things like coke and other acidic crap… AVOID caffeine!
edit:
also once I started taking L-glutamine (Gluta-lyn is best) it completely got rid of my acid reflux…
My mother no longer suffers GERD (suffered for 5 years), because i did my research and found that almost all cases of acid reflux is from low stomach acid/low digestive enzymes in the diet. Throwing away nexium and giving my mother digestive enzyme supplements with hydrochloric acid resolved GERD and LPR symptoms within 2 weeks. Gastritis symptoms 85% better in 7 months of taking digestive enzyme supplements (after suffering for 25 years on acid blocking drugs). You can purchase digestive enzymes with and without hydrochloric acid. This works but you may have to do a bit of trial and error. Check if you have the H Pylori bacteria as well to rule this out as the cause of your GERD. FDA have made a statement that acid blockers should be only take 3 times a year for 14 days at a time. A black box warning is on acid blockers state increased risk of fractures to wrist, hip and spine. The following links have more information>>>
