Struggling with severe esophagitis and am finally getting the thrush under control. Constant feeling that food is stuck in chest. Pain meds, sekul staying away from carbonation helps a little.

Make sure to tell your provider. They increased both my omeprazole and Pepcid to 40 mg/day, 1 in am and other in pm. The increased doses really helped.
