i have been having reflux trouble again—enough to where it seems like i am taking gaviscon alot. i have also been getting chest pain again.

i have just been avoiding taking a PPI. partly because i don’t want to have to pay for it, and partly because i worry that it will affect how my other meds work.

i just read that long term antacid usage can cause altered calcium metabolism and an excess of magnesium to build up in the body. has anyone else read about this?

I think the study deals with people taking it for over 7yrs and at max doses. But don’t quote me on that.

Hi Christine,

I remember you! I was on the group several years ago when my little boy Jordan had reflux really bad.

I haven’t heard of any of the studies you mentioned, but we are still battling ‘some’ level of reflux around here. My older son, Josh, who is now 12 has been having episodes recently. Instead of using any of the PPI’s I’ve been working with him on watching his diet. He also uses the same old Mylanta he did as a baby (Cherry Supreme) & Pepcid. Seems like processed foods really aggravate his reflux, so I fuss at him to eat more fresh fruits and veggies!

I hope your little girl is doing well now!
