Get the book "Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Maalox, Tagament, Prilosec, and other Acid Blockers" by Martie Whittekin, CCN -- Amazon, Bamm, Barnes and Nobles, etc.   She recommends the probiotic Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus.  It cured my acid reflux.  I took Prevacid and Prilosec for over eight years.  I am no longer taking these drugs and can not remember when I have felt this good.  I am 55 years old.   Martie also has a internet radio show, www.RadioMartie.com, so check her out.  If you like what you hear and the remedy works for you, spread the word.  There are so many people who need this information.  Look at the archives for popular shows.   I hope this helps.   Debra
