Thanks for the tip x
I'm still on omeprazole but haven't taken any for about a month because I don't see much of a difference with my silent reflux :roflmao:

All the best :hugs:

I have been taking esomeprazole for about four months for acid reflux. The ranitidine tablets I was given before were not working.
I hope I can have bloods checked in the near future. Thank you leiajulie.

no worrries aiden & magic - im getting bloods done again in 10 days after ive been on ranitidine 2 weeks so will keep you all posted.

Low magnesium apparently isnt a concern as nurse said 99% of the populoation have this and go undiagnosed!!

Omeprazole were a life saver for me as gaviscon and nexium had no effect so i have been heartburn & indigestion free for 4 years approx

after consultation with doc yesterday he has said i am better to start omeprazole again so as of this morning i have, touch wood no acid or heartburn yet

They have been a godsend to me, I don't know when I will have a blood test GP never said to have one after taking omeprazole. Hope you go on ok leiajulie .
