“Coping with reflux (NOW I know was the result of bad dietary habits). As usual, the regular GP started me off on a high dose of 30mg Lansoprazole x 3T/day - a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Over the years, GP was never interested in checking my condition or reviewing my diet or the prescription, just a drug peddler. I had to do my own online research on diet and slowly bring the dosage down myself. A good alternative to Gaviscon, a bottle of which I used to have in most rooms. Now I take one 15mg Lansoprazole mid-morning, as breakfast of oatmeal w/milk alternative, or Oatabix w/olive spread is unreactive. I can only guess what permanent damage has been done by taking the original overdose prescription for too long.”
