A member asked:
I'm taking 40mg a day of prilosec. avoiding foods im supposed to. not controlling the acid and my doc agrees. anything i can take in addition to help?

Several things: Make sure you're taking the Prilosec as the directions say (timed to food as directed). In addition, do not eat for at least one hour prior to laying down for sleep/naps/etc. Finally, measure your waist: if it is over 40 inches at the belly button, you are at higher risk for acid reflux problems.
