We just went through this - Chuck has a hiatal hernia and GERD - he tried the Prilosec - unfortunately the Prilosec only keeps the acid down - doc gave a prescription for Nexium and it is a gift from heaven - not only does it keep the acid down, but actually HEALS the esophagus thus cutting waaaay down on the risk of cancer let alone the discomfort of indigestion - we intend to keep a supply on hand since this happens quite often - things that irritate are tomatoes, CHOCOLATE, and coffee - three of his favorite things!
