Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux

A couple years ago I had blood work done & was told i have an ulcer. Saw a gasterotoligst he did an internal look & saw nothing. I have chronic heartburn, nausea, vommitting, pain in my belly, gassy, burpy & black tongue. Family doctor says its acid reflux gave me meds but they did nothing. I presently take prozac, wellbutrin, and antiinflammatory for migraines. The black tongue freaked me out this morning. I just want all these symptoms to go away forever as its a HUGE disruption to my daily life. Any help/advice?
