I too have been having stomach problems related to my reflux. You may (and probably would) find some relief by taking DGL tablets (licorice extract) daily, as well as drinking Aloe Vera juice a couple of times a day. You can find both of these at your local health food store. They've helped me at least a little. Also drink as much caffeine-free herbal tea as you want-- just make sure that it is, in fact, caffeine-free. I personally feel that the Prevacid I took back when my condition started may have contributed to my current stomach problems, but there is no way to be certain. Here in the states Propulsid is considered somewhat risky, as it has caused some fatalities. I'm currently taking Zantac to keep my acid reflux under control, and it seems to cause less stomach pain, but I'm still searching for some way TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN!!!!!!!! So I understand EXACTLY how you feel, believe me!
