@AllyThe Nexium did not work but one time with another doctor he doubled the dose to two times a day. Â It helped for a bit. Â I just saw a new primary care doctor and he told me he has Barrett's Esophagus. Â He told me in addition to the Dexilant, the misprostol, sucralfate that I could take over the counter Zantac twice a day. Â I had high cholesterol and have been on 10mg of Crestor. Â My diet is very bland. Â No spicy, no fried foods, no tomatoes, no chocolate no caffeine no soda, no acidic foods, no peppermint and no high fat foods. Â It is awful! Â When I go to my husbands family for dinner, they tell me to bring my own dish that I can eat. Â They really do not cook and buy Italian foods which is the worst for me. Â I was so bad that I would sleep sitting up and even then I could not sleep with the pain. Â I always try to find grilled chicken, lots of fish like Salmon, steak. Â Everything is bland! 4951
