DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I need help with acid refl ux. I have battled it for seven years, and until recently I have used Prilosec, but it has stopped working for me. I tried AcipHex and Protonix but didn't feel well when taking them. Now I'm on Prevacid. Is it OK to take indefi nitely? I wonder about Nexium. My doctor told me to take any acid reducer that works. What do you consider the best long-term medicine? -- F.H.

ANSWER: Acid reflux, heartburn and GERD(gastroesophageal reflux disease) are different namesfor the same thing -- the upward splashing of stomach acid and digestive juices into the esophagus, the longtubethatbringsfoodfromthethroattothestomach.Theesophagus can't handle those corrosive juices, and theresult is burning pain.Can you identify any food or drink that brings on your symptoms? If you can, eliminate it. Potentialtroublemakers are fatty foods, fried foods, spearmint, peppermint, chocolate, tomatoes, citrus fruit and caffeine. You prevent nighttime heartburn by putting6-inch blocks under the bedposts at the head of yourbed. In that position, gravity keeps stomach acid inthe stomach.Weight reduction almost always lessenssymptoms.
