I been on aciphex for years it worked while nexium didnt.
I go to a gastrologist for my acid reflux and have an endoscopy done every 2 to 3 years. Just a precaution to make sure I dont have cancer of the esophagus or stomach, Sometimes they have found a polyp in my stomach,
The best info is to Google GERD or acid reflux. There is alot of info out there telling you what to avoid. Also telling you to raise the head of your bed. Avoid acids, carbonation, caffiene and the list goes on,
Educating yourself by researching and reading is the best way to go.
I just say a lawyer ad on TV about Ragland and to call them about side effects. I have never had problems with aciohex that I know of
Another thing a person can do is right before you eat take an anti acid, like gaviscon or even a tums to neutrilize the stomach.
Good Luck
