I've been treated for reflux for a number of years now. I've been taking prescription ranitidine (Zantac) once a day for months (down from twice a day, and that down from a prescription Prevacid before...). My doctor has issues with my choice of condiments sometimes--I am legendary for my hot sauce cupboard--but with the weight loss I've enjoyed while eating LC I've been able to keep it under control with just one a day.

My initial gastro appointment is tomorrow morning, in fact. I guess they get all twitchy when one has had symptoms for as long as I have and not had the scope. Not looking forward to it; tomorrow is just the consult, but for some reason I get the willies thinking about an endoscopy.

Good luck with your efforts, and keep on enjoying the LC WOE!
