I wonder if it could be a medication. Lipitor, gemfibrozil, vit d, cymbalta, Kapidex. I have reflux. ## this site is not medical professionals, we cannot give you a definitive reason for the burning, nor a diagnosis or treatment. It can sometimes be caused by medications, but other things, such as eating the wrong foods or a vitamin deficiency can also cause it. Nothing on your list here is known to normall cause this problem, but it is always possible. Have you contacted your doctor, yet?
