@daisy17 the problem is that I was having such bad reflux that was lasting an hour that I went on omeprazole which took away. I've only had one bad incident of reflux last week since July of last year. The reflux is very frightening because I've had an esophagectomy and I have burning in my throat for one hour and I use throat cold tea and Pepcid and Tums. It's frightening and I actually had aspirational pneumonia from that reflux so I'm really afraid to go off the omeprazole. I don't know what to do.
