    Probiotics really helped my reflux was on losec and Zantac 2 each x2 daily, homeopath told me about this, haven't looked back, only need odd gaviscon if stomach goes, hope this helps bought mine from. Holland and Barrett

    Ah, I never thought of this before but this all started after a long course of antibiotics. So perhaps I killed all the good bacteria?

    How long did you take them for?

    My GP does prescribe Ranitidine 150mg. I understand that this is a higher dose than you can get over the counter. If you think it might help go and ask your GP if he/ she will prescribe it.
