Hi short out line: given Zantac for so called Refluz put up to 4 x 300mg per day and left on it for 5 years, problems reported, all over joint problems, muscal fatigue, and memory problems, at last a change well to Zoton 1 x 30mg PD for 6 more years, no change, private blood test showed 7 food intolerances plus a IgE antibody problem, so did I have Refluz for the past 11 years or just a food intolerances, what I do have is no life, joint problems, muscal fatigue run my life now my heart muscles are starting to give problems, may be if you are on Zantac or Zoton for Refluz ask try cutting out foods 1 by 1, more and up to date details if needed.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the advice, I shall bear it in mind. I don't take Zantac too often but need it occasionally - residual problems from a healing stomach ulcer (taken nearly a year, getting better very gradually week by week) which was caused by the helicobacter pylori gremlin.

I'm not sure if what I get is reflux, it's more like severe discomfort with major burping/gas difficulties - that's when I take Zantac, which helps a lot. Normally a short course will settle it. I have tried other things which just don't work as well.

Sorry you're in such pain and distress, has anyone suggested a better treatment regime for you?
all the best.
