I have most of the GERD symtom ... frequent heartburn, burning sensation on tongue, tooth became sensitive due to enamel erosion, ears sometime feel itchy n sometime pain, throat constantly feel there's something there n sometime feel pain as well.

Rooibos tea helped with my symtoms for very short time, but i hope in long run, it can improve my GERD condition.

How long you have been taking omeprazole ? From what I read, we shouldn't take PPI for long term basis, hence the doctor stop prescribing it after 3 months.

U're right, normally i will wait for 3 hours after dinner before go to bed. Beside that, i'll drink few cups of rooibos tea before go to bed too.

Glad to hear that ur symptom has subsided. Mine too but it's far from feeling comfortable.

Wow one yr already. Do you notice any side effects? Doc warned me will have calcium loss hence recommended calcium supplements .

Haha i gained weight too, eating too many meals.

Do you experience muscle ache or joint pain when taking the omeprazole?

40mg daily is quite strong i think..im taking 20mg daily

Sounds serious bro , have you consulted a gastro specialist before?

Seems like its really hard to find a good doc for gerd. i went to see 2 gastro before and they don't seem to care much although i'm in pain. Most doc just tells me this is 'nothing serious' and dont worry about it just take the pills. If you guys know any good doc pls recommend to us
