Hi again! i am wondering for those of you on meds for GERD=how long did it take for them to help, and, did they help? I have been on aciphexx for 10 days, and the MD said it takes about 10 days to start working, but I still have symptoms, but not as bad, and, I am not even sure if they are GERD symptoms my throat is scratchy on one side, and I think I have had this before, but I just dont know what is what anymore as this had me all in knots. I am nervous I'll need an endoscopy...so, can anyone tell me what thier experience on meds is? dies it help eliminate all symptoms? and if so, how fast?
Thanks so much!

I do not have GERD, but here is the link to a lot of good info about it...

Hopefully some of our other members can share their experiences with you. Keep in mind that we all react differently and maybe it will take you longer than the 10-day average to feel any noticeable improvement.
