![](/profile/get-photo.asp?memberid=22135&type=profile&rnd=50) 20 Miles West of Indianapolis Indiana | I really need to see a dr again, but I have acid reflux by breathing air… intake a Prilosec (omeprazol) daily. I take it in the morning and it for example for dinner I knew I was going to eat something very acidic I’ll sometimes take one at dinner or I might get upset at night). I usually drink a sprite a day and sometimes 2 to help with it. But I gotta get off that sugar and pop.
Hopefully someone understands what I’m asking because I don’t even know what to call it. But we buy these squeeze bottle things to add flavor to water for our kids. Like grape or berry or whatever… is there something like that I could add with water that could take the place of a sprite when I need to take that edge off like it do with them?
Or does anyone have any home elixirs to help with acid reflux? I damaged my esophagus years ago by abusing Advil PM as a sleeping medicine when I was young and working nights and couldn’t sleep. My Dr said I messed it up pretty good and it gave me the acid reflux worse than normal. I’ve probably been on Prilosec for 10 years and I would love to get away from it: I tried changing to Pepcid and it didn’t do anything to help. That was a miserable week for me trying it… |
