How are you feeling? My doctor put me on protonix twice a day and sulcrafate again. This really hurts. I cant even enjoy my day without pain. Does everyone else have chest pain, like under my left breast where stomach is. It drives me crazy!! I feel this medicine helps some but this is no life to be in pain constantly. I eat bland and have my bed propped. I'm usually positive but this is sucking the life outta me. Between reflux and perimenopause it sucks. Are you feeling any better? Hugs to all going through this.❤

Yes I'm on ppi called protonix. I'm hoping since he upped it to twice a day it will help. I only drink water and my diet is bland. Plain white toast, bananas, chicken and tuna, rice...just plain as can be. No I eat about 5 hours before bed. I go to doctor Friday so I hope this gets better. What meds are you on?

Hi Becky
I was on 40mg a day of esomeprazole and yesterday my gastric Dr. put me on 80mg a day for next 6 weeks in the hope that it will help take the pain down. I get terrible burning chest pain burning under my ribs. It wakes me every nite at some stage of the night. I'm trying to keep my diet bland but eat gaviscon all day. Hope your Dr. can help you on Friday
