BTTT!!!
There is so much advanced math and statistics in medicine. I’ve never heard of any of these bio-statistical methods.
If it is genetic, does “recognize and control the risk factor of GERD for lung cancer in order to decrease its prevalence” make any sense?
Just don’t forget to take that Omeprazole!
Worst stuff ever. Avoid! Most people with GERD just need to lose weight and change what they eat and when they eat.
You could get lung cancer eating those hot wings all the time!
Here, eat some bugs instead . . .
In my case as a very long time sufferer of GERD, Prilosec was its own food group to me.
Almost nothing worked and what little seemed to didn’t last long.
I also suffered from severe diverticulitis and on Jan 4 I almost cashed in my chips because of it.
A few weeks I came home still weak and tired but I didn’t need Prilosec and haven’t touched one since.
One of the medical minds thought Prilosec was masking some kind of infection.
My blood work was always clean though.
So the BS cancellation of Ranitidine is what actually causes cancer.
First Zantac, then Prilosec, then omeprazole when I found it was cheaper than Prilosec. The doc. had me on Nexium for a while, but it’s just rebranded Prilosec. Still on omeprazole. Gotta have it, and I’ve been on it for a very long time.
I have Ulcerative Colitis, coming up on 29 years and counting. Omeprazole is just one of the meds I’m taking. 5 prescription medications…
After a long and mostly disappointing year partly to a doctor who did nothing except string me along for months, I got my repair surgery after getting a new surgeon that cared.
Now I am off all medications for the first time in decades.
I didn’t need to loose weight and change the way I eat for the GERD to go away, I needed a Nissan procedure done to stop the reflux.
Nexium is not Prilosec.
Nexium = Esomeprazole
Prilosec = Omeprazole
I read a paper written by a doctor once, saying they were the same.
I guess he was wrong, and I stand corrected.👍
Wonderful! Good health to you!
Very kind.
For the first few months of last year, I was questioning my own existence and the light at the end of the tunnel seemed way off in forever.
I could barely walk for a couple of weeks among other things.
Somehow I managed to keep going.
Did they tie down the bottom of your esophagus - forget what the procedure is called but my lady has GERD that meds don’t seem to help. Any answer would be appreciated ...

I had a Hartmann Reversal, lost a few feet of large intestine and while I was opened up my appendix was removed. Nothing above was worked on.
One thing I found that did help with GERD was gluten free food. This was several months prior to the diverticulitis blowout.
The thinking from one of the good medical minds is that Prilosec was covering up an existing infection.
Hope trying gluten free helps.
Thanks for responding. I have no allergies at all that I know of but my wife gets skin conditions and who knows maybe its gluten but as a diabetic she does almost zero carbs, no breads, no pasta, no milk products - - a ridiculous diet you’d think but its all based on a bookshelf full of he research.
10 years on insulin and now 15 years off with good sugar control - diet & exercise. But something is changing so who knows - I know she’s got GERD maybe its gluten related.
Again, thanks.
