This is a long shot... but I will ask it anyway.

Do you use strong peppermints? IceBreakers, Altoids?

I had a massive gastritis attack after ONE Cool Blast Ice Breakers mints. It took days to resolve...Prilosec, milk, and some of my Librax (RX) brought me out if it.

This is the link where I wrote about it here.

Researching this and menthol orally I found that some people have an allergic response to peppermint, and some cannot tolerate the high dose mints that are now sold as candies and breath fresheners. If you consume these mints or some other thing like cinnamon try avoiding them for a while and see if your symptoms lessen.
