Over the years, I have tried many over the counter medications for Acid Indigestion and Acid Reflux.
I have had different Doctors recommend Prilosec, Prevacid and Pepcid AC. Of course, they also inform you "some of these medications can take weeks to get into your system".
I tried those recommended medications for 6-8 weeks each. They provided absolutely no relief for me whatsoever. (Neither did Tums or Rolaids.)
In 2011, a friend recommended "zantac". I figured it would be like the others and take weeks.
HOWEVER, about an hour or so after taking that first pill, I felt 100% better! I was shocked to say the least. I had never had an Acid Reflux/Acid Indigestion medicine work for me prior to that.
And what is even better, is that I can once again eat the foods that I had to avoid for years.
