The purpose of this project is to test how safe and how well AST-120, an investigational product, works in treating too much acid in the stomach. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, AST-120 or a placebo for the first four weeks of the study. The patients will be switched to the other group (AST-120 or placebo)for the following four weeks.
