FYI -- I'd be interested in how many people on FR have Acid Reflux to the Damaging level. Seems like about everybody I know has it now.

My husband was diagnosed with ARD. He was having recurring stomach pain and was on Prevacid for some time. It helped, but he still had some pain. In his case, they found Heliobacter pylori the bacterium linked to ulcers, but they couldn't find an ulcer. He opted to try antibiotic therapy and has been better ever since.

I have problems with heartburn. Not every day, but frequently. It used to be a problem only when I was pregnant, but I've had problems since my youngest was born.

I haven't bothered with the Dr. I figure she'll tell me to stop smoking and stop drinking soda. I suppose when I feel miserable enough, I will.

I have it and take Prevacid at $3 per cap! That is far too expensive. I had no idea it is made in China. What isn't? Cruise your local Wal-Mart for a quick lesson that American made stuff is verboten. Study your Mandarin, we will need it (and here in the southwest, we are learning Spanish as fast as we can so we can understand the soon-to-be-in-power politicians from Mexico).
