I have had it very bad for about 5-6 years. I started taking Nexium this year and it has helped tremedously.....But, it is super expensive and I dont want to take it forever...I have tried all others with no success......Any other things I can do besides not eating or drinking ever again?

you can take two pills of prilosec otc a day, they will cost less than 50 dollars a month versus nexium that costs 150 a month, secondly avoid foods that aggrevate symptoms, thirdly elevate the head end of your bed by a couple of inches. fourth, no matter how much you weigh lose 10-15 pounds, good luck

You can never be too young for an acid reflux disease. It is also common in children. You can take Ranitidine HCL 150mg 3x a day for a period of 1 month. DO NOT skip meals and DO NOT aeat large meals, instead eat more frequent but take smaller portions. Avoid acidic food (sodas, coffee). STOP smoking.

My husband has it.Couple yrs ago he starting talking with a real high pitched voice,FINALLY went to Dr.He said his voice box was burned badly.He waited so long before seeing dr. he wasn't sure if his regular voice would come back.After all the meds and treatments we could finally see a difference about 4 or 5 mons.Now if his reflux starts hurting too bad he's back in his office.

Treatment:-
(1) Eating only small quantities of food at one time.
(2) Walking or standing for about half an hour after each meal.
(3) Sleeping propped up on pillows.
(4) Eating a diet free of greasy, fried, highly seasoned foods.
(5) Taking milk and antacids if symptoms similar to those of an ulcer are present.
(6) Reducing, if the patient is overweight.

I have that problem too. I was at my friends house the other day and was having horrible pain and my friend gave me this disgusting drink that immediately helped. I think it was lilly and thisle. I'm sorry i cant remember who makes it or where he got it, but you can probably get it from the health food store or something. It really works!!

Take a generic form of it. My mother does and it works fine for her. Its cheaper and works the same. Good luck. Eat a lot of watery foods like vegetables, fruits, but not lemons or citrus they will aggravate. As for drinking drink plenty of water. And chew a tum or two a day. Good luck!!!

The company that puts Nexium out has a program that will help you with the costs. Contact them. Your pharmacist will give you the number.
