GERD may sound trivial to you, but it isn't. I've had it for years now & it is challenging!
Once you find the right medicine that works for your symptoms, stick with it. I have been put on several different meds, but the protonix is the only one that works for me. Otherwise, I'm fighting esophagitis, which hurts like mad!! I'm sorry if I sound negative. I really don't want that.
Check out this article, in case you haven't already. The information is helpful and accurate (in my personal experience).
