xpost: possible ulcer

well, i have been fighting terrible heartburn for almost 2 weeks now. i called the dr last week and they increased my prilosec to 2x a day. that worked for about three days, so i called them back today and they are putting me on reglan along with the prilosec 2x a day. they are thinking i may have an ulcer. so when i go in for my 5 month checkup on monday, if it is still really bad, they may schedule a scope. any experiences with reglan and/or scoping???? they didnt suggest any dietary changes..... is there anything i shouldnt be eating or drinking or maybe something i could eat or drink that may help???

When I had my perforated ulcer fixed last summer, they told me to stay away from caffiene, alcohol and tobacco. I take a prevacid everyday to keep it from coming back.

I had one ulcer because of caffiene (only 1/2 cup of coffee) and one because of catup (and this was after tomatoes, etc was allowed in my food plan).

If you are being diligent with not having caffiene (or tobacco & alcohol as was in Linda's post), I would try cutting out anything citric (like the catup was for me), and anything spicy (peppers, salsa's, etc).

Good luck...
