Just diagnosed with erosive esophagitis

[Warpy]

38. Eden Tamari is wheat free soy sauce. it packs a flavor punch, so you can use less

I don't have erosive esophagitis because I've been on Prilosec forever. I take mine in the morning and if I start to feel that volcano under my sternum start to erupt, I take a Pepcid at bedtime. However, in the healing phase of inflammation like you've got, the Nexium formulation twice a day is necessary. Fortunately, it's off patent and fairly cheap at Wally's.

My biggest problem food is canola oil. I can tell if there's a single drop of it in any restaurant or prepared food. That's when I need the Pepcid.

Other things that relax the valve at the top of the stomach are methylxanthines (coffee, tea, chocolate--sob), solanine foods like tomaoes and potatoes, and some medications. A food diary will help you avoid your own trigger foods.

But definitely check out the Eden tamari. It makes Kikkoman taste like dishwater. Amazon has it if your local health food store comes up empty.
