Hi Tinlou, As of right now Im doing much better. This week marks the 4th week of doubling up on my PPI (aciphex). Last bout I was on a double dose for 2 months. My only symptoms now are really just...
Tinlou said... Definitely not..lol! The ER doctor diagnosed gastritis and my regular doctor diagnosed silent gerd because I don't get the typical heartburn, gagging, reflux. I guess it is a good...
Ive heard Manuka honey is good but have never tried it....

Tinlou, I have stopped taking all forms of meds. No aspirin or nsaids at all. I have some minor side effects when taking the 40 mg but not with the 20mg. I can tell my stomach swells some when I take...
Tinlou, I am taking 40mg of aciphex while I deal with the gastritus. I take one 20mg in the am and one pm. Based on what I'm hearing from others my case is mild compared to most. The worse Ive had is...
