Acid reflux: Anyone out there?

I had acid reflex for years and back in September it then became acid reflex on steroids now upgraded to GERD. My acid reflex was so bad I thought I got poisoned. My throat was on fire from my tonsils to stomach. My stomach hurt so bad I could barely sit. I tried three different acid reflex pills and it took four months to get it under control. 40ml of omperzole 1/2 hr before breakfast and again 40ml before dinner. God forbid I forget to take the pills my chest gets stabbing pains and then the fire burning sensation kicks in.
You need to keep trying different pills and brands. And it does take a few months to get it under control.
Wish you the best..

Wow. It is strange that our medical community doesn’t realize that we are subverting the body’s nature tendency to come to balance. The more we repress the stomach acid, the more we get.<br />
I am now two months off the second dosage of Prescription Antacids – it is like detox. It takes some time to find an equilibrium. I don’t know if I can ever look an orange or a raw tomato in the face again, but at least, I feel like “most” of the food I eat is not just running right out of me.<br />
I miss Indian food, spicy Mexican, and I cannot look a garlic clove in the face. But, I don’t spend all morning on the toilet screaming anymore either:}<br />
