[Smash Bros]

if your doc is an arse like mine insist on a gastosocopy.

i can lead to worse health conditions later on in your life.

they can actually make it worse if it gets bad enough. im not allowed to have them at all anymore. i have to take Nexium 40mg 1 tablet a day for atleast 6 months atm(most likely rest of my life) if it is bad i have to take 2.

i was on 20 mg prilosec for about a year but i heard that it can screw up the way ur body processes minerals and weaken bones and your heart if you take it longer than the suggested 2 month period. so i stopped a few months ago

[Smash Bros]

never heard of that one :S

Nexium is meant to be the best they have here :S

from what i've read theyre basically the same thing: proton pump inhibitor. only with prilosec your suposed to take a 4 month break after the 14 day days your on it. we have nexium in the US, maybe i'll check that out

Nexium is the generic of prilosec. You can get prilosec over the counter now but not nexium. They are Proton Pump Inhibitors. Basically its one of those damned if you do and damned if you dont situations because if you gobble up antacids constantly, you can actually overdose on calcium plus too much bicarbonate from antacids while at the same time not preventing the reflux from entering your esophagus, damaging it. Over time, this will lead to esophageal cancer.

Before i was prescribed prilosec or had any medical knowledge, i was eating antacids like candy and waking up in the middle of the night "choking" from the reflux. Ever did that? Thats some scary shit.

I have been on prilosec for a few years now and can miss a few days but it comes back.

Take those meds because its better then esophageal cancer.

yeah i used to do that bad. if it happened once i would sit up all night shaking wondering wtf was going on. that shit freaks you the fuck out. went to hospo for it cause it started fucking with my lungs aswell. told them that i had trouble breathing and that i had bad reflux. they said it was alright and told me to go back home after making me wait for 10 fucking hours.

I have suffered major acid reflux problems. I used to eat the fuck out of tums and then was fortunate enough to have a friend working at a doctors office who gave me whole boxes of Prevacid samples(which i highly recommend). I had like a years supply. She no longer works at that office, and ive been without the pills since June. I hoped my esophogus had repaired itself but the problems are coming back. I vomit that shit shit up every fucking morning. Ive done that shit since middle school. Im 27 now. I used to be in pain nearly every night. The first time it hit me real bad i thought i was dying, lol. I must admit that alot of the problem is my own fault, alcohol, poor diet, drug use but those are not the only factors but should be taken into consideration. I would have never admitted this back in the day being a supper pothead back then and all, but smoking marijuana actually aggravated the problems as well as cigs. Sucks cause I have no insurance and reflux medication is outrageous. Ive checked those sights where ou can order prescription meds and even on there the shit cost more than most strong narcotics. The market for that shit is fucked...all our food is meant to kill us. It is nearly impossible to have a healthy diet unless your a fucking naturalist. not that I eat healthy but shit. Anyways hears my advice 1) eat healthy! light condiments, little or no spices, stay the fuck away from grease
2) dont eat anything more 2 to three hours before bed
3) dont smoke anything!
4) dont drink alcoholic beverages or any carbonated beverages

But I figure you the same as I and say fuck all that shit, but try to be moderate. Its that same as everything else in life

If you up late and you have bad heartburn, try a piece of soft bread and a little pepsi, sounds stupid, and i know its not healthy but it has help me a few times. zThe bread absorbs the acids and can make it less painfull and easier to vomit if necasary
