Hello and welcome to HCM, I have understood your concern about the reflux medication not working and why your taste has gone haywire! you should understand that Reflux Treatment takes time and patience You should also understand that reflux treatment involves both medications and more importantly lifestyle modifications. While medications can offer you good temporary relief, the lifestyle modifications give you a permanent relief which takes times to achieve. Meanwhile your tongue is reacting to the reflux in a way which we call the mucositis and also since am sure nothing tastes good you are unable to eat sufficient greens which has led to the vitamin deficiency. One of the foremost indicators of such deficiency is altered taste of the tongue. There can be many other causes also; but this is one of the commonest. Coming to your treatment as such: 1. Continue the anti relux medications in proper dosage as advised by your doctor (you may send me a list if you have any doubt regarding the same) 2. Start a multivitamin tablet like Zincovit along with b-complex tablets twice daily for two weeks after food for two weeks and then once daily after food for one month or so. Your doctor will know about this. 3. Avoid anything which is spicy, Oily and high flavored 4. Take lots of green leafy vegetables in any form like salad, soup, side or main course even if it tastes bland or salty. 5. Take an exercise regimen to achieve and maintain your ideal weight. You should remember that even weight loss can cause or aggravate reflux. Wait for at least two weeks after you do the above religiously before you panic, as I have mentioned before that these take time to manifest. If you do not feel better at the end of that time then we may have to consider other causes and start with an Upper GI endoscopy and complete blood analysis and take it from there. Take care and get well soon Dr Sriram Nathan
