Canadian health care system frustrated specialist

Hello all, anybody from Canada here?
How did you get to see an ENT or GE?
I went to a family doctor today, told him, I had pressure in my stomach at night and during the day, sour taste, bad breath, nausea. Have problems sleeping at night because of this.
I told him a barium swallow was done (little bit of acid reflux) but I have no heartburn
Dentist found bacteria overgrows in tees and positive breath test
I told him I took proton pump inhibitor and they did not work.
he said they do work....
I should use over the counter acid medication. I told him I did and they do not help plus I have no heartburn.
I ignored what I said.
I asked to see a specialist and he said he will fax a referral to a GE but it would probably not work or take 3 to 4 month.
Great, that's what you get from a free health care system.
I am on my own..
Right now I am trying Betaine with meals.
