Hey guys/Howard,
As stated on another topic, I have Barrett's. I've taken pantaprozole
(PPI) for about 3 months now and it seems to work. Previously, I was
not on anything because I stopped without my doctors orders because I
felt good. Stuipd mistake, i know.
Anyhow, the acid reflux/burning sensation is gone, but on some days I
still get a "hint" of burn (like right now). The symptomps are not
completely gone, but it's definitely manageable. If I don't think
about it, the symptoms are gone. If I think about it, I can feel the
burning sensation. That's what I am talking about. Some nights it can
flare up uncomfortably, but for the most part it's under control.
Since I have Barrett's, do I need to be concerned about this or is it
common to feel some burning sensation every other day or so? In other
words, do the PPIs need to completely turn off the burning sensation
for me to not be alarmed? If not, then at what point do I alarm the
doctor?
I'm going to talk to my doc, but I figured maybe Howard would know
what I can expect to hear or do.
Thanks!
