A member asked:

Are medicines like renetedine that are not from ppi family also effective in treating lapryngeal reflux or they are only good for protecting stomach?

Excellent question: and the answer is NO the H-2 blockers will not help hoarseness, sore throat or swelling of the larynx because THERE ARE NO H-2 RECEPTORS in those organs! H-2 blockers are located in the STOMACH and LOWER ESOPHAGUS, Hope that answers the question Dr Z

A member asked:

Taking GERD medicine from 2 months but get it again as I skip medicine. New Dr. said LOW STOMACH ACID leads to acid reflux because LES only closes with right amount of acid in stomach. PPis and antacids only lead to further problems. What should I do?
