40 mg of Prilosec usually controls my symptoms but sometimes have to add 20mg of famotadine. Recently I have found that CBD (yes, the component of hemp and marijuana) is very effective at preventing the esophageal spasms I sometimes get when swallowing. Those aren’t fun, believe me.

Never heard of CBD. I used to take Dexilant. Thought it was great at first but it wore off. Doc insists I take atleast one Prilosec. He says its why my Barretts has reduced.
Sorry about the spasms.

Sounds like you have esophagitis. I’ve had that and it’s horrible.

OMG! “esophageal spasms I sometimes get when swallowing. Those aren’t fun, believe me.”

If they are like what happens to me .. HORRIBLE. Soo painful, and alarming. Can’t really swallow during one.
