Has your doc. done any testing on you, had the test done where they go down the throat with a scope(forgot the name of test, super long name), but real informative test, I am going to look into more natural alternatives,already started on papaya & going to give the distilled apple cider vinegar (braggs organic) a shot, I figure what do I have to loose. I have alot of problems at night wakes me up. If I were you I would address this issue with your doc. because heard to many stories of conditions getting out of control, also I have talked to pharmacists in detail about meds, they said although alot of them are simular each one person has differant results with them, they said sometimes it is a matter of finding which one will work best for you, also after time some people need to switch. I am on a new one Zegerid, seems to be ok but on meds for other things also so having more problems with relux acting up. Good luck & let me know what happens. Sammy
