Re: Acid reflux so scared nothing working
I have a friend who is a nurse, she has been diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus and a hiatal hernia. She takes 60 mg a day of PPI's and as a supplement she takes Alka-Selzter. She advised me to try the Alka-Selzter as a supplement to the omeprazole I'm taking, because the omeprazole just wasn't helping me by itself. So far it seems to be working for me. But we can take any other kind of anti-acid supplements with our PPI's like tums or gaviscon, if you don't like the taste of Alka-Selzter, but the only thing about those other anti-acid brands is they tend to cause stool changes in some people. The Alka-Selzter doesn't, as far as I know.
