And yet, my stomach is burning still like crazy! The heartburn? Horrible!!!!!!!!! I guess thats part of a rebound effect huh? I am taking zantac when it gets really bad.

I'm on Day 1...we are in the same boat...I don't have much heartburn, simply a sour taste in my mouth.

I know you probably already know this but they say chewing gum is a great way to squelch heartburn, have you given that a try?

The first week was bad for me. It was tempting to just go back on the pills. I got through my second week and I feel like the old me. I hope you both feel better soon.

Im still having terrible heartburn today-oh man!!

I didn't get much heartburn, but my stomach hurt. Sometimes it ached, other times I felt so empty and hungry, but food didn't help. It was a terrible feeling. I watched my carbs, took papaya enzymes after eating and a probiotic twice a day (I have IBS-D too).

I tried not to take too many antacids because I read about rebound from those and it scared me.

I hope you get some relief, Nancy :(
