Oh Babs - I so wish there WAS something I could suggest. Like you I am on Lansoprozole, but if my symptoms get a bit bad one day, then I take 2 instead of just the one. You could try really soft scrambled egss, soups (with bread crushed in), apart from that, I'm sorry, I'm stumped. I'm so sorry Babs, but if warm thoughts are any comfort to you, then I send you bucket loads, and I hope it's not long before this eases. If you're no better as the evening goes on, perhaps you should ring out of hours number for GP and see if you get any help from that. Let us all know how you get on, ok? with lotsa love kate xxxxxxxxx
Don't know if this any help, but my GP prescribed Omeprazole when I was crying with acid indigestion and heartburn but it sounds a bit the same as the one you've already got. Keep pestering your GP until he comes uo with something that does work
