I see a diabetic specialist for cfrd every six months. I saw them about 3 or 4 months ago. I know they will just tell me to check my sugars, which I probably need to do for at least a few days, just to be sure they are okay. I've always been below the threshold for insulin, unless I'm taking prednisone.

Otherwise, I looked up the symptoms of thrush and it doesn't sound like what I have.

I'm taking 30 mg of prevacid right now. I've tried Rx protonix and prilosec OTC. As well as RX famotodine. All of these I tried separately in the past. They worked for a while but eventually it their effectiveness lessened and I went to something else. None of those have completely taken away my heartburn/reflux.

Prevacid has worked well for about a year, but the last couple months I've been getting heartburn more than usual.

Nexium eh? I wonder why my nutritionist at the cf clinic hasn't suggested it?

I have not seen a GI in many years and not for heartburn. Nexium would be worth a try. I'll see how the pancreacarb combined w/ Ultrase works. If that doesn't cut it I will ask about Nexium.

I didn't realise Nexium was the best/most powerful. Thanks for the scoop.

I take Nexium, and I rarely have heartburn anymore. If I do get it, it actually takes a few seconds for me to remember "Oh yeah, that's heartburn" LOL <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> , and then it only happens when I either missed a dose or took it really late in the evening. I've been taking it about 9 months now. Good luck! Heartburn is miserable!
