Erosive Esophagitis
"I had food stuck in my esophagus and it was very painful.  The gastroenterologist did the procedure to stretch the opening and that has to be done again every 2 - 8 years.  Then she placed me on one 40 mg of omeprazole capsule every morning. It works like a charm. Then I will suddenly lose the ability to swallow smoothly again.  I will go have the procedure again.  Then the omeprazole will work again very well until I do something stupid with my diet. I mess myself up with my diet or try to eat too fast.  As long as I am careful about the method of which I chew my food and swallow it safely and not in such a dumb rush, I do okay.  And the omeprazole works plus doesn&#039;t cause any side effects.  Mornings B4 U eat is best but don&#039;t miss a dose."
