I suffered with acid and ulcers for (20?) years. Was diagnosed with helicopactor whilst working in Malaysia (during 9/11..2001)...started the treatment and returned to UK. Local GP hadn't even heard of it. Finally got the course going again and no longer need the Tagamet I'd been on for years. My issues now are caused by the deluge of daily heart meds. But taking them with food has lessened the effect. Daily AllBran keeps things cool.When I was troubled with occasional heartburn against (which Gaviscon and similar proprietary medicines were ineffective), I mentioned it to my GP during a consultation for something else and he prescribed Lansoprazole capsules.
Much better and I seldom need them now.
