      I take Deglycyrrhised licorice root extract. Maybe wont cure it but it will help settle your tummy and good for esophagus. Good luck.

    Hi

    I would say that your diet will be the most important thing to let it heal, I take the ppi every day and have done so for 2 years now but they only work if you stop eating/drinking the main trigger foods. You have to avoid alcohol, coffee, carbonated drinks, spicy foods, tomatoes and much more. Not a lot of fun but it does help.

    Hi Michael

    I take Esomeprazole 20mg so a low dose and if possible I only take it in the morning but sometimes I also take it late afternoon.
