Does anyone else on here suffer from GERD (Acid reflux)? And if you do have you taken Prilosec for a prolonged duration.
I have been on Prilosec for about 2 years now, everyday of every week. I suffered from severe reflux prior to starting it. If I ever stop trying to take it my symptoms come back and I am absolutely miserable. I am frankly tired of taking it and slightly concerned about taking a medication for such a prolonged period of time. Some of the side effects worry me as well (weight gain (makes sense for me and is silly because weight gain can spur on acid reflux), heart palpitations (can't rule out that i've had these), depression (can't say i've suffered from anything more than a sad day here or there), digestive problems, constipation, headaches (happening more frequently than i can ever remember).
So has anyone had a bought with GERD and if so, did you take prilosec? did you take an alternative remedy? I've been researching and apparently Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural alternative.
