Member Posts: 11 ✭
just looking for suggestions
i have just completed 10 radiation sessions to thoracic spine and am suffering big time from oesophageal burns
I’m on a liquid diet and using mylanta with xylocaine gel 4 Hourly but it’s waking me at night and lack of sleep is hard too
soluable panadol is ok but is there any other tricks to settle the reflux like symptoms?

Pantoprozole works well for the reflux. Will need a script for it though. Also try taking a probiotic. Inner Health Plus Candex is a good one.1

I am on nexium. Also find peppermint oil (couple of drops) helps to settle tummy if that area is playing up. Good luck.1

Thankyou all for the suggestions and support
I am on pantoprozole and the doctor even suggested ranatidine as well
I tried the Manuka honey today and it did help a little after one use so I will keep that up regularly
will try and get some peppermint oil drops
I hadn’t thought of probiotics ...
again all this supportive info is great I really appreciate it thankyou2 -
Ranitadine comes in a drinkable form so works quickly. You will need a script.0
