I'm reading the book, No More Heartburn by Sherry Rogers, MD who claims to have alot of success through STRICT dietary changes over time. I don't want to take Prilosec if I don't have to - she claims that many of the prescription drugs are simply band aids over longer term problems that will resurface after taking the drugs particularly if an individual has h. pylori bacteria, an ulcer or candida. The drugs can actually create environments that enable the situation to get worse! What she says seems to make alot of sense, though it's difficult to believe when you want immediate relief. Thanks to Jim for his post below re: dietary changes. Has anyone else tried some of the tests mentioned in the book (diets that cut out all yeast, sugar, wheat, h. pylori blood test for example) to see if they have h. pylori or candida before taking drugs? Some doctors just want to throw drugs on the problem but I'm wary!! Thanks in advance.
