Whatever recipe you get, add some omeprazole to it! Only kidding, but seriously, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is no laughing matter. It can cause erosion of the esophagus. Some of the drugs mentioned here are called H2 agonists, and they may work we'll for a time, but some people can build up a tolerance to them quickly. Some others are called proton pump inhibitors (PPI's). They take longer to start to work, but if taken regularly are usually quite effective. Please see a gastroenterologist or talk with your primary care doctor about this. Hope you feel better soon!
