Abdominal pain

[JI05]

Hi Everyone

I was wandering if anyone could help me with my problem. I have been suffering with abdominal pain for about a year and a half now, i had an endoscopy in January 2009 and was diagnosed with mild Gastritis and Reflux, i was given Nexium to take which i took for 4 months and felt better. After a couple of months it came back again but felt worse so i was told by the doctor to go back on Nexium again which i had taken for 3 months and the pain and burning had not gone away. So i decided to visit the Specialist and prescribed me another brand of medication called Pariet which i had taken but only got some relief but then it got worse than before with major pain and burning especially when i eat, i don't know what this could be can somebody help me because it has been too long that have suffered. Thank you for reading.

Is prevacid an otc item in the US? i work in a pharmacy in canada and its prescription. 15 mg and 30 mg.

For the reflex, I would try an over the counter medication that you can take for long periods of time (like years) like prevacid or prilosec.
