GERD
"Over the years I have taken it &quot;as needed&quot;.  I try to control the acid reflux by watching what I eat.  Mayo, Chocolate, mints, tomato sauces really set it off.  Sometimes I forget. I try to take it as infrequently as possible because I have heard it may be responsible for decreasing bone density (I&quot;m 69) and there may be other side effects. I was averaging one every 4-5 days. If I&#039;m very careful can go longer, but sometimes I want to splurge.  Today I refilled a prescription and noticed it was for &quot;DR&quot; delayed release.  Anxious to see if there is any difference."
