   heartburn help!! (Acid Reflux board)

14th February 2008
i am desperate for any help and opinions! please take the time to read my story and hopefully help me
i have been suffering from heartburn for over a year. originally i was prescribed prevacid and it helped for a long time. now i have heartburn literally 24/7. at night the burning is so bad and goes into my throat leaving a sour taste and burning sensation. i have raised the head of my bed, i sleep with a bed wedge, and am limited to a diet of a bagel for breakfast with milk, carrots, yogurt, crackers, mashed potatoes, and corn muffins, and A LOT of tums! i have had 3 upper endoscopys over the past year, the first one found a small cyst in my small intestine which was then rechecked and i was told that it is not causing any problems. i was prescribed with reglan and nexium of which made my stomach have cramping pains so i am now back to the prevacid.. which is no longer stopping the heartburn... does anyone have any tips to help me? my doctor has given up and i have an appt. for march 27th with a new doctor =( please help

i was on twice a day.. 30 mg before breakfast and 30 mg before dinner then i switched to the nexium and reglan. after the reaction he just put me back on the morning dose.

this has impacted my life so much... the next step my doctor suggested was amatriptalyne (spelling?) which is an anti-depressant.. wasnt too crazy about going on that
