Horrible reflux - Help!

At 2 months I have reflux at least 3-4 times weekly -- horrible burning, taking zantac/pepcid. Guess not everyone doesn't make stomach acid; I have enough for everyone!! I'm eating very carefully, and now this week not very much, but cottage cheese and a cracker for breakfast this morning almost killed me. Advice please; I'm calling Barix in the am, but what has worked for you?? Thanks, Carol

Sorry, sounds horrible! Have you tried the soft chew Maalox? That helps my son a lot. Good luck. Let us know what Doc says. sunny

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you are having trouble with the reflux. I know you can get RX liquid Zantac that is way stronger than OTC. My son took it for a while. I hope that you get to feeling better soon. Best Wishes!

Carol, I suffered for a month with the heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. I wasn't throwing up and could get my fluids down. He had me on Prevacid and Zantac. Finally, I went in for Upper GI no problems. It got worse, the EGD showed a stricture. It's been 2 weeks and I'm off the Rolaids and Tums. Go see your doctor! Chauncine

Definitely go see your surgeon. I was having burning and pouch irritation. My surgeon said it sounded like an ulcer (my stoma is still wide open, so it wasn't that) and I am now taking prilosec and carafate. They should definitely be able to help you... good luck!

So what happened? Did you see your MD? I hope you are better. sunny
