I had reflux before getting my class 1 and it was no problem, initially used zantac but was persuaded by my GP to try Lansoprazole(zoton) it is much more effective and less hassle than zantac. 1 tablet in the morning and forget for 24 hours. Curry,beer etc no probs.
Been advised to cut down to the minimum strength, went from 30mg down to 15mg as my GP believes this reduces the risk of stomach cancer in later years. Lets hope so.
