    Ulcers, occasional reflux, and GERD are different things.

    This man’s research specifically centered around ulcers and the cause.

          Pray you never recognize the truth behind why that user keeps saying that, because that will mean that you have a serious problem that doctors will have failed to help with.

          That user’s experience was my experience too — with a highly-rated doctor.

            You know dude, I’ve been there myself.

            My sister’s been there, my whole family’s been there, I dated a gastroenterologist for 7 years, I created a computer-based training program which was first year medical-level for a research drug for reflux.

            This dude’s just driving the conversation down to the basest, most surly Facebook boomer-esque sniping. It’s completely obnoxious, it misrepresents the actual medical facts behind the symptoms and treatment. One line cynical statements are just thought terminating and I detest them.

              Maybe he’s just in pain and you could try a little patience and empathy instead, especially considering your informed position.

          It’s not anti-intellectual to hold medical professionals to standards.

          It’s well known that PPIs are overprescribed and many people end up having undiagnosed H. Pylori infections for a while before it’s picked up.
