Erosive Esophagitis
"I was on Aciphex for 4-5 yrs. but the expense of it shifted me over to Nexium. I have now been taking 20 mg. Nexium 4 yrs. &amp; have not had a GERD attack in years. My concerns are now that you can buy it OTC, I am concerned it will not be strong enough? And secondly, why is it that most nutritionists &amp; holistic doctors insist that these acid controlling pills are the worse thing to take for your body?  I tried not taking it for 2 mos. &amp; immediately had an attack which is horrible. Can someone answer my concerns please."
