[TPIN] acid reflux

[Lenny Buttitta, Jr.]

Well sir,

I have acid reflux and I find it is more of an issue when I play due to an increase in the
physical exertion of the diaphragm. However, the problem has been totally eliminated altogether
now that I am taking Prilosec (OTC).

If you take Prilosec for more than two weeks, they suggest that you see a doctor because there may
be a bigger issue: if you have had this problem for such a period of time that the acid has burned
your esophagus, you will need medical attention because this can lead to cancer. They will
schedule for a procedure where they put you to sleep and send a camera down your throat to have a
look around. Luckily I was OK, so all all I have to do is stay on Prilosec. (diet, weight and
exercise have nothing to do with true acid reflux disease)

Let the flame war begin!
