I am totally new to this issue, even though I have suffer and been "treated" for acid re-flux for years! Now I wonder if I ever had acid re-flux! When I accidentally found out (my gastro. nurse said I had it, two days ago), I started to read about it. Apparently, the re-flux meds totally upset the whole system and may be what has been giving me such episodes. Apparently, my gastro has known, but did not share it with me? I would have stopped the reflux meds back in January!! I am beginning to believe there is NO DOCTORS in my state that really care! At this point, I am not sure WHERE to start. I did call and FINALLY got new script for XIFAXAN, but can only afford, week by week, the 14 days supply, will it help or not? Second, I am not sure what I should and should not eat, I read about the Align Probiotics, so I will start those soon. ANYONE who can suggest ANYTHING at this point would be wonderful! Thanks in advance...JK
