[e-man67]

I have gone through the stomach issues for 20 years now...went from prilosec, zantac, pepcid and now on Nexium (which does the trick). I stopped drinking all soda (and still don't drink it), layed off sugar, cut out fat and grease, no dairy besides skim milk, nothing acidic (no juice, onions, etc), no tomato sauce or coffee for almost 1 year. I basically lived on plain pasta and grilled or baked chicken. I do have flair-ups now and again but when I do I take an OTC pill for IBS (because it has a pro-biotic in it) and eat some yogurt with the live cultures in it...then I am ok! I am a firm believer that you need to stabilize all the natural flora in your stomach and if it gets out of wak you gotta stabilize it. I have a stiff drink and a smoke most every night now and I can eat anything I want. I still stay away from soda and orange juice. I hope you get it under control...I know it's very painfull! I thought I was having a freakin heartattack!
