Mine is a PITA. I take prilosec for it; none of the milder stuff did a thing except possibly make it worse. Supposedly the dose is 20 mg daily; I have to take at least 40 and I've been on 80 before. Also I can't deal with spicy food, alcohol, fried/greasy food, or chocolate anytime NEAR the time I go to bed...unless I want to spend the night worshipping the porcelain god. Poor dburr has had a lot to live with.

I wish the surgery did work better. I'd be all for just repairing the damn thing!

My mom has this, too, so when they relate mine to my weight I point to her and say "but SHE'S thin!!!"
