Insurance vs Costly Stomach Meds

By Kitty Catty Thursday, January 08, 2009

Due to my heartburn problems and being unable to get my medicine (I finally got insurance, but it does not cover expensive stomach medications), I am trying to adjust my diet.  It seems like the only thing that does not bother me is chicken noodle soup.  I normally like chicken noodle soup, but not if I have to eat it every day.  In the mornings I get heartburn anyway, no matter if I eat or not, and I throw up stomach acid.  I throw that up all morning, and on bad days into the afternoon.  Mylanta helps, but only if I can keep it down.  Anyone else have these type of problems or any advice?!  Thanks in advance.

I am also on Zantac (150 mg@2 per day) and Hyoscyamine (.125@3 per day).  I was on Prevacid, but the insurance will not cover it.  I notice a definite increase in heartburn and stomach acid without this medication.  I used to be on Protonix, which also worked well, but the new insurance will not cover that either.  I would  really appreciate tips or advice on this.  I am miserable in the mornings trying to get the kids up for school, I spend half the time in the bathroom throwing up (or waiting to throw up) stomach acid.  Thanks in advance.

     I didn’t know how many people suffer from Acid-reflux, I will try to help as many as I can, I’m 59 years old, 3 years ago I was suffering from Acid-reflux, I tried just about all the drugs in the market but, it didn’t help much, and the side effects were terrible, a friend of mine told me about this natural food supplement that he tried, I ordered and tried myself, it was amazing, no side effects, safe for all ages including babies, I didn’t have to go on a diet, I eat and drink anything any time as much as I want, and I mean anything including coffee, sodas. pizza, chocolate spicy foods (my wife is mexican),. I didn’t have to make any lifestyles changes, I don’t have to elevate my head when I sleep and it lasted for more than a year, I had to order it 2 times since for myself and 1 time for my daughter and my son, my daughter was 18 years old and 32 weeks pregnant, my son was 10, the baby is now 13 months old and my daughter and my son had forgotten about Acid-reflux, until two weeks ago my daughter ask me for the web site address  because one of her friends at school have reflux, I have told many of my friends about it, try it and tell your friends too, let me know if it work for you, the web site is betasupplements.com.
