I've gone back to normal Zantac. been taking those whenever I need one--usually never-- but Zantac in the morning and night for 3-4 weeks should clear it up, minus the ummm hair loss, Glaucoma, and yeah, those other nasty side-effects. (I too looked up the side effects, some people thought they were having a stroke due to the side effects! Reminds me of the VIOXX (banned COX-2i) crap.
Well, you don't even need the Zantac really. A good calcium supp. while avoiding anything acid-forming will get your body back on track naturally. Do you drink alot of sodas or something? It is worth changing your diet because an ulcer is the first warning sign your body gets along a road to more serious problems. If you don't modify your eating habits you can be certain that this, along with other acid issues, will crop up again.
