I was diagnosed with GERD/LPR and my doctor first prescribed prilosec 1x per day. That helped but I was still having reflux pretty bad, so now I am on prilosex 2x per day (morning & night). It is better but I still feel "acidic" all day. It's not full-blown heartburn but still uncomfortable. Would nexium be any different? Or adding a pepcid? Please reply with any recommendations or success stories.
I have been reading all these posts on GERD. Please go back to about page 3 on GERD and look for "There is a cure for heartburn" and you will find posts by me and some others on the success of RAW apple cider vinegar in water. I had terrible heartburn for over 6 months or so and tried all these meds but none of them helped. I tood the vinegar and within two or three days I was fine. Please give this a try. You have nothing to lose and it is much healthier than meds. Good luck.
Some PPI's are better for some people than others. I have had great success with Nexium, and feel almost normal, along with a healthy, low-fat diet and staying away from the obvious no-no's, such as coffee, citrus, mint, red sauces, etc.
