I have it and its something not to mess with.
It can lead to Barrett's Esophagus. I have it. The acid will erode the lining in your throat. It can also lead to cancer!
I take Omeprazole for it. Its OTC stuff.
If I were you I'd go see the doc!
WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

took omeprazol for years , the real answer for me was controlling sugar intake and loosing 20 pounds loosing more would probably be better.
if I keep sugar down then I don't suffer the reflux
eating too late at night even if it is low sugar is also bad for me
it was bad for me , they scoped me 3-4 times checking my esophagus over the years
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Doctoring for about 12yrs now along with a hyatial hernia also. Taking 40mg prilosec (omeprezole is generic) every other day to control. Don't eat 3 hrs b4 bedtime now either or will suffer from acid reflux and thats not very tasty especially coming out yr nose too. I have Barretts also. Had what I thought was bad heartburn that got so bad drinking water would burn. Couldn't eat enough antacids!!! Pretty well under control now. Past heavy drinking probably didn't help. This gettin old sucks! Treat your body like u need it for 100 yrs not 50!!!

I also have Barrett's esophagus. As stated, nothing to mess with. I am on Texts (pantoprazole) due to peptic ulcer.
I honestly believe that if I dropped 20 lbs it would go away entirely but the combination of high stress job and busy life (and lack of willpower lol) make that tough
Just happy to be here.

Omeprazole got rid of mine. I have been taking it for 5 years. Before that I had a burning in my throat 24/7 and had trouble swallowing at times. As others have said not eating for a couple hours before bed helps too.
