GERD & Heartburn Support Group
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. If you are afflicted with GERD or heartburn, join the group and find support.
Hi, I have tried several PPI's and never get any help. Both the Lansoprazole and Nexium worked for a little while but then just stop working. Even during the time I am classing as them working, I would still have really bad days.
What are the options if the PPI's dont work? I am worried that this won't even go away.
Oh and diet changes dont seem to make much of a difference to me either and its not stress related (as the dr keep insisting) as a psychologist has confirmed that I am not stressed or anxious (exactly what I have been telling the dr for a year now!)

hope you will feel better.
Also we get acid breakthrough and hae to add something with our PPI Gaviscon is good for acid breakthrough. Also just taking a TUms or some OTC before you eat might help also.
Good Luck
