Rolaids and tums should be banned. I swear using these makes it worse and contributes to GURD incidence. Don't ignore ongoing heartburn. Prilosec (Nexium is same stuff - changed one molecule - but with nice shiny new patent) can help it heal and then switch to one or two ranitiadine 75's (cheaper genaric zantac) twice a day and see if that keeps it down. I might try going back to prilosec when it comes overthecounter. Depends on if it is way expensive compared to 4 rani's a day. Anyone hear of any bad things with prilo's? Those purple pills are magic man... Oh, btw - you probably need to start on the NEADLAA diet to prevent it anyway (Not Eating And Drinking Like an Asshole).
