sorry for the tardy reply
I have had GERDfor years and 2 months ago had both upper and lower scope test.
The esophigus ring was hardened from the years of GERD and the DR fragimented this the best he could. Because of my years and health he does not suggest and will not fix the hiatal hernia I also have. The best I can remember I have a 'sliding type' of hernia. I take MYLAN 6150 and have taken most of the other perscription meds for GERD. I was taking 20mg but was still having problems and they upped that to 40mg but my insurance wouldn't cover the larger dose. So the Dr gave me enough pills to cover my taking (2) 20mg when needed. I have read more on WebMD and found that my nausia and gas could be as a result of the medication for the GERD, is this correct??? If so is there a medication that I could take in conjunction with the GERD med as to lessen the nausia????????
please excuse my spelling of the medical terms...
Thanks,

no.
I have tried most of the things you mentioned. I don't smoke, I am a little underweight.I don't eat close to bedtime and have cut out a lot of things I used to eat,some a few weeks ago. One of my biggest problems is nausea that last for hours. Can you tell me something I can take for nausea that does not make me sleepy either from my doctlr or over the counter.
If theomeprazole DD 40 mg. is too strong would 20 mg a day still make me nauseas? If so could you suggest something better. Is there any medicine to help heal the hernia?
