I've had acid refulx for over 12 yrs. I was also dx'd with an ulcer about 5 yrs ago. I used to take Nexxium for Acid reflux but it got to where it didn't help as much and the Dr switched me to pantroprazol (generic for protonix) now i'm not a heavy drinker since my grandpa was an alcholic and don't wanna go down that road. But I do enjoy an occasional bear or mixed drink. I usually feel just fine with One drink but after 1 my stomach starts hurting and I get that sick gnawing feeling in my stomach. If I chew about 3-4 tums it'll go away after a little while but man it's miserable. Does anyone else have this problem?
