- ng12 4y agoThat's fair. Guess I'm mostly talking about the other end of the system :)
- danachow 4y agoThere are actually biologic treatments for Crohn's/UC, not everyone responds but they produce remission which can spare or prolong time to surgery for many.
- aszantu 4y agoit's perfectly okay to cut out everything that triggers GERD, see fiber menace
- kevinmchugh 4y agoMy life would be significantly less enjoyable without the foods that trigger my GERD. I'll stick with the small, cheap pill that lets me continue to enjoy carbonation, hot drinks, spice, chocolate, acidity, dairy, fried foods

- kevinmchugh 4y agoMy doctor informed me of the side effects when she gave me the prescription.
