    You could try Losec MUPS. It's an omeprazole with magnesium.

    Just like they said, if you are taking PPI's you will be deficient in magnesium, calcium and B12 so you need to take supplements.  I do know for sure magnesium helps in many ways and one of them is anxiety and pain which are all connected to reflux.  So take the supplement and se how it goes.  Do not take the citrate or the cheap one found all around because they will give you more digestive problems.  Order them online and read the ratings because what's good for me, doesn't mean is good for you.

      Like always they blocked my complete response with no link or anything that will violate the terms.  Quick reply: I had SIBO and nothing helped besides Manuka Honey 15+ from New Zealand.

      From SIBO? Yes.  From everything else? No.  Now, they said is not reflux related and what I have from reflux is so mild they see no reason for me to take medication at all only as needed. These are my symptoms and I hope they do not block my posting again is chest pressure right under my breast bone just like reflux all day long except when I sleep, chest/back and rib-cage pain almost every day. They said is my Gluten sensitivity even if I do not eat any gluten/dairy and soy. I was grain free for over 2 months and it made no difference so I'm back eating some grains but much less than before. They also said it was my cervical spine and some moderated nerve conditions they saw but after consulting with a neurosurgeon they also disregarded that option.  Over 2 years and still no answer. ;-(

      Based on a PH bravo I have normal stomach acid levels.  Now I'm having nasal breathing problems so it has to be LRP. Thinking about the stressed therapy.

    I've been taking a PPI for a year. If I skip even one dose, I feel the acid splashing up into my throat. I've lost 20 lbs from it because it's hard for me to swallow solid foods. It almost feels like I have to train my muscles to swallow so not sure if it's neurological? Anyways I take magnesium pills for anxiety and it seems to help a lot! Still have side effects though so not sure if you're really experiencing a mag deficiency or it's just a bad case of LPR-because I have the same thing

    Hello my name is doretta or dora for short. I had acid reflux a few years back. It was very bad. My doctor told me to take B12 and magnesium glycinate 400. The PPI's deplets all the vitamins in your body! And I take a probotic. Now I do not have the reflux. I also eat organics! Doctor also told me to stay away from processed foods. It took 2 years to heal.
