Hi Lozzy,

If I take Advil, about 2 days latter I get wicked heart burn. I must drink a coke during this period, but it will not go down. It fizzes up and out of my mouth. I have to force it down many times before all the acid clears from my esophoguas. If I do not take Advil, I have no problem at all. An antacid does nothing to help me.

Some over-the-counter drugs are more dangerous than the commercials lead you to believe.

I have been through this 3 times so I know it is a real side affect for me. I cannot explain how that happens.

I can't take NSAIDS either because of severe acid reflux. I can tolerate Tylenol in little doses, but it's still not great on the stomach.

P.S. I work in clinical trials of pain meds, and not every drug on that list is an NSAID. There's a couple of Cox inhibitors mixed in, like Celebrex, which have their own problems.
