    • Close GERD & Heartburn

      I've probably had GERD for a year or so but didn't know since my only symptoms, at first, were coughing, clearing my throat and hoarseness. A few months ago, I got a terrible burning in my throat after I ate.

      Treatments

      Aciphex Working / Worked
      Was working at 20 mgs. twice a day but my family practice doc wouldn't prescribe
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
      I get GERD from everything I eat.
      Nexium Somewhat Helpful
      20 mgs twice a day was pretty helpful if I was very careful when I ate in relation to taking the meds. When I took 40 mgs. twice a day I got debilitating side effects.
      Prilosec Not Working
      Worked for about a month then stopped working completely.
      Protonix Not Working
      Got bad stomach pains from this and it didn't really work very well.
