Hi, I have had gerd since 19 and am 30 now. My brother is a doctor so I keep him aware goings-on, but I have seen other doctors when it got real bad. I have needed to take Prilosec or nexium since I was first prescribed 10 years ago. Maybe I destroyed my esophageal sphincter with the binge drinking as a teen. Idk. I had an endoscopy in my mid-20s and they didn’t find anything besides mild irritation. Thanks for the tips, I definitely need to start double-dosing PPIs (again). I only recently started taking famotidine. I’m not sure if Ranitidine is effective for me. Tagamet right? I have not noticed any changes from Tagamet or famotidine, actually, but I guess everything together has synergistic effects.
