Try Prevacid Everyone

Prevacid does wonders for me. it helps with that bile coming back into your esophagus and burning it. I havent been taking my prevacid ina month now, because i have been on a new medication for my insomnia and i dont think the two mix, so i am just going to not have acidy food and drinks. DRINK WATER!! NO SODA!! THATS BAD!! IT HAS PURE ACID AND THATS WHAT BURNS A WHOLE IN THE STOMACHE!! STAY AWAY FROM CHOCHALTE AND TOMATE SAUCES AND JUICES THESEARE ALL ACIDY> ALL NO GOOD FOR GERD!!! Prevacid turns off all acid in your stomach. thats why i like it. it also helps with heartburn. Christina

Re: Try Prevacid Everyone

I agree. Prevacid is a great med! I have an 8yr old son who has suffered from very severe GERD his entire life. He has even had 3 fundos done, with very little improvement. The only med that has ever given him any real long-term relief is Prevacid. I am also on Prevacid for my own acid reflux, and it works wonders. I used to be on Zantac, but it never helped much. The Prevacid gets an A+ in my book!

No Chocolate? I thought it was GOOD for you? I LOVE chocolate! Is Prevecid
something you can take everyday long term? If not what's the longest that you can stay on it?

I've been on it for about 5 years so far. Still working.

Re: Try Prevacid Everyone

I definitely have found that Prevacid works best. I started taking it 4 months ago, after Prilosec and then Nexium failed to keep my acid reflux under control. Once I started taking Prevacid, I realized that I'd still been having symptoms while on the other two, that I hadn't even realized were caused by the acid. However, I wish the Prevacid weren't so expensive.
