Tell me about it, Hiatus Hernia been on Omeprazole for 2 years,

Seems to control it for me, most of the time, although if stressed then the Rennies get hammered too

Last night was my worst attack of it.
a mixture of nexium tablets, milk and a glass of water with bicarbonate of soda did the trick after about 4 hours.

You should avoid milk when you have heartburn. It’s acidic and also causes more acid production.

I've been on 20mg Omeprazol since they became licenced almost 30 years ago called Losec back then.

It works short term simply because you’re adding a cool, soothing liquid that dilutes the acid in your stomach but it should only be a very short term and last choice option really.

A spoonful of Bircarbonate of soda in a small glass of warm water, for the odd emergency, gives instant relief.

For short term, quick relief it’s definitely calcium carbonate. Don’t buy Rennies, you’re wasting money paying a premium for what is just a small block of chalk. Get the cheapest own brand you can find - I have the Tesco ones in the house but any will do.

If it’s something you get long term, see your GP. Long term erosion to your oesophagus can cause a whole host of issues, which an ultimately end up as cancer if severe enough.

Barretts oesophagus, very serious, a 50 year old mate of mine died from it last month.

I’ve suffered with it for awhile mildly till last year when suddenly I became dizzy and nauseous everyday and no idea why. No appetite, lost about a stone.

Been on lansoprazole ever since. Starting on 30mg and dropped down to 15mg.

Swan kickers and canal pushers
Scum of the highest order, I hope they find them, name them and stick their mugs on the front pages of the tabloids to shame them.

I think that they have found the girl that kicked the swans. She claims that she thought they were fighting and tried to stop them. They are still looking for the friend that pushed the other guy into the canal.

Far too windy in Surrey today for this time of year...just wrong...

Gaviscon Advance, big bottle. Comes in aniseed or peppermint and available behind the counter at pharmacies. Much better than Rennie, etc.

So bloody annoying ??

It's been freezing today - one extreme to another! Heating back on and aircon units packed away.
