I'm taking Prilosec now and would rather break both hips than go without. If I'm not taking my little purple pill everyday I am simply disabled by heartburn pain. I get heartburn when I drink a glass of water.
I used to have terrible heart burn until I quit drinking alcoholoic beverages, I'm not saying that's your problem but it worked for me, I haven't had heart burn in more than 25 years.
Amen. I've almost felt compelled to write a Christmas card to the makers of prilosec every year.....the stuff is incredible, a miracle drug IMO.
