Forced to quit!!!
Hello, so for the last 2 months I've had some pains in my chest, etc. Went to a walk in clinic and they told me nothing "mechanical is wrong". Then had my yearly physical and everything checked out (blood work, physical exam, etc.) He told me to see a Cardiologist which I did and everything was fine. Finally had enough and went to see a GI today as he has treated me before for colonoscopies and endoscopes (I have Celiac).
He told me that what I have is acid reflux which is causing the problems in my chest and that I would need to give up 3 major things, booze, chocolate and diet coke. Why couldn't it be cauliflower, broccoli and lemons?????
So here I sit staring at a bottle of Omeprazole (generic version of Prilosec) for acid reflux. Anyone ever take this and how quickly did it help with reflux.
Thanks
