Thanks for the reply. I'm now taking omeprezole daily which seems to help
Staying away from groups of people because of my immune system is ok with me. Not so much for my new wife. Oh well

Hello Lonnie……..make a long story short…my first cancer I had 80% of my stomach removed…….part of the section removed is the acid receptors…….just now “my make up” I can tell you the easy solution is take a Prevacid every day.OTC. For feet that it say 14 day use only……I have used this regime for three decades.

Never say the road is a long way back…….it’s a marvelous adventure filled with new people,places, and everything new to see!

Acid reflux was an issue with me years ago before CLL. I took antacids by the bottle to control my concern. Then my wife started to feed me a more healthy diet and within months my stomach trouble was history. During the past two years I have not had stomach trouble but I do eat healthy and I weigh 10 pounds more then when I was 20. I hope your medical issues clear up and you can have a more happy and healthier life.
