    You know what? I was having the same problems a couple of years ago. I decided to take Prilosec for a few months while I shed some extra beer-belly pounds. I think that cutting WAY back on alcohol consumption also helped. I thought my problem went away until... I always power up before a workout (I am one of the few people who can consume several hundred calories before a workout and still keep it down... just a little gagging never hurt anyone). I really enjoy pop tarts (strawberry to be exact). I noticed that if I ate a couple before workouts that I would get terrible heartburn. Anyway, I digress. This may be a quick fix for you. Eat only bland foods before a workout (low low acidic content) and see how that works. Swim hard.
