I achieved that, but I keep coming back to evangelize the 2 dose a day PPI regimen that saved my life after the blackest, worst period of my life when I was looking for a diagnosis. |
I have a million questions. If you could answer them I would be greatful.
Does "complete relief" mean symptom free? Are you still taking PPIs? Were you on Nexium 40 MG twice a day? That is what I am taking. Did you take them both at once or one in the morning and one at night and for how many months?
Did you have the symptom of bad breath? That is what I am battling most now. My throat doesn't bother me as much since I have been taking the PPIs for the past month.
About my diet. If I eat pasta with tomato sauce once a week is that going to have a major effect on my ability to recover? Do I need to completely remove chocolate, pizza, orange juice, etc from my diet in order to recover? I don't eat a lot of that stuff, but people are saying they don't eat that at all any more. I can't see how eating a slice a of pizza once a week could hurt.
I know you probably are

with all my questions.
