Re: Any disease or condition find the best

Good advice, I'm learning so much! I started reading up on acid reflux, which

I've lived with for seven years, treated with omeprazole(prilosec) without much

relief. It relieved my heartburn but not the regurgitation. My Pulmonologist

doubled my medication and after two-weeks nothing changed. So, after reading

just a limited amount of research on relating acid-reflux with PF I pushed my

doc for a referral to a Gastroenterologist and got that today!
