After being in severe pain with vomiting for over three months I was finally diagnosed with an ulcer. I found out it was a common occurance with Gastric Bypass but mine had been 3 years earlier and this ulcer was a good size. The doctor decided to try carafax and after two weeks of taking it faithfully I began to notice a difference. Following a diet and taking the medication as directed my pain has decreased as has the vomiting. I'm only three weeks into treatment but so far so good. Published: December 18, 2007 ::

Just started 4 days ago - already getting relief from severe pain. Published: November 27, 2007 ::
I am taking this medicine to help with the pain and healing of an ulcer in my esophagus. I was instructed to take this medicine 4 times a day for 2 weeks. It is sometimes difficult to time this medicine 1 hour before eating or 2 hours after eating, so I did not stick to the schedule of 4 times a day. But this medicine has worked for me, although I take it now as needed - whenever I feel pain. It seems to upset my stomach if I take it before bedtime. Published: November 12, 2008 ::

I have choking symptoms due to acid reflux it can get pretty bad and I use this drug to calm my esophagus and the choking goes away in 10 to 15 minutes. I have been on this since 2003. Recently my daughter started to take this drug for her reflux disease. She found relief within days. I use liquid for rapid results and she uses the pill form for her symptoms.
