I'm taking Protonix which is sort of working, but I'm still getting breakthrough reflux. My friend gave me Aciphex and I got cramps in my stomach by the 5th day. Not sure if it was from the Aciphex or the beer I was drinking.Yes, I know, I shouldn't be drinking beer with reflux. Well, I'm not anymore, but I still want to know if the cramping came from the Aciphex or the beer because if the Protonix isn't working, I want to switch but I'm afraid.

I have been taking Aciphex since 2003 for GERDS treatment. Now my insurance company is no longer going to cover it. They say the only coverage they now offer is for omeprazole. I'm certain it boils down to a matter of $, but I'm uncertain I'll be better off. Any advice?

My doctor gave me AcipHex samples today, but I don't remember how many he said to take, and how often. For anybody that takes it, how often do you take the medicine? Thanks

I take aciphex twice a day for heartburn and dairy trouble, at first it worked perfectly but lately it’s been loosing it’s effectiveness, any tips?
Briana Wiley say:
Stop dairy products or take lactaid. Try switching to spy products. You can get ice cream and anything that come sin COW dairy. Aciphex does not treat the symptoms of lactose intolerance…. just the GERD that can be worsened by the dairy.
Timothy Conrad say:
Have your gall Bladder checked by your family physician. keep a journal to show him of what you eat. Another thing avoid dairy before bedtime.

I used to use Aciphex 2-3 times per month to control esophitis and heart burn, but I had to switch to Prilosec for insurance reasons. I am wondering if I should use them differently? I used to take Aciphex whenever I didnt feel well, and it worked fine. Do I do the same thing with Prilosec? Or do I take it regularly weather I have heartburn or not?
