It has a lot of side effects and effects on absorption (watch your iron levels) but yeah I get it. Pepcid and Zantac are short acting and I got off Omeprazole and at this point take the others only as needed. A Reclast infusion has brought back pretty bad reflux and Tums isn't doing it!!!!! I am too scared to try omeprazole though!

Bless your heart!! I use pantoprazole ( script from DR and works very well.. also supplement with a Pepcid once in a while.. tho not suppose to)..I'm also interested in your comment about that Vargus nerve.. I never heard about it until my GI referred me to a neurologist for that for ongoing extreme nausea.. I heard a guy on TV say "you have 2 brains...your brain and you gut and they are connected to that Vargus nerve..so I'm having an appt. in Dev to get an MRI of my head.. prayers for you!!
