        Pray you never recognize the truth behind why that user keeps saying that, because that will mean that you have a serious problem that doctors will have failed to help with.

        That user’s experience was my experience too — with a highly-rated doctor.

          You know dude, I’ve been there myself.

          My sister’s been there, my whole family’s been there, I dated a gastroenterologist for 7 years, I created a computer-based training program which was first year medical-level for a research drug for reflux.

          This dude’s just driving the conversation down to the basest, most surly Facebook boomer-esque sniping. It’s completely obnoxious, it misrepresents the actual medical facts behind the symptoms and treatment. One line cynical statements are just thought terminating and I detest them.

            Maybe he’s just in pain and you could try a little patience and empathy instead, especially considering your informed position.

        It’s not anti-intellectual to hold medical professionals to standards.

        It’s well known that PPIs are overprescribed and many people end up having undiagnosed H. Pylori infections for a while before it’s picked up.
