of these proton pump inhibitors, nexium didnt do a thing for me. prilosec did a little and prevcid solutabs are a little better. that left protonix and aciphex to try cuz kapidex wasnt out yet. i tried protonix 40mg. and it worked pretty good. i just looked at my protonix bottle and it says take once a day. which is how i take it but i thought i was taking half a dose for some reason(referring back to my previous post where i thought you have to take twice a day). i asked my doc to try aciphex to see if its better than protonix and he said kapidex is by far the best ppi working for his patients but it is new so its going to be more expensive. i tried it for 2 weeks and agree that its the best that i have tried so far.

good luck,
