Unhappy

repeated heart burn or gerd can cause issues with your esophagus that can lead to cancer. I wonder which one is more at risk?

I take a prescription med called Protonix that my gastro has put me on permanently because the OTCs didn't work. It's really helped me. It's something worth talking to your PCP about. I also take Gaviscon tablets for breakthrough heartburn. It's 100X better than Tums.

Hi Kay. I'll probably ask my doctor to prescribe me a medication like that. The heartburn is overwhelming if I don't take something for it. BF

I used to take Nexium also. For some reason I one day just didn't
need it anymore.

So I don't take anything now.

I am trying to diet, but I still get heartburn. I get a little heartburn at first, then it becomes much worse if I don't take care of it immediately in the beginning when I first experience the symptoms. BF

Protonix is much, much better than Nexxium. I take 40mg a day. It's by prescription only.

I know what you men bizi. I seem to need a heartburn med each day. I wish that the network news would stop scaring us. BF
