"Everyone is different, but Kapidex does nothing for me. I was on 60 mg for 2 weeks and am now on 120 mg. No side effects, but then it doesn't help either. I had the same experience with Prevacid, so it probably should be expected. I hope it works for you, but I would ask for samples before spending a lot of money on something that may not work."

"I've had severe heartburn since I was a teen. Tried everything from Tums, Rolaids, Zantac, Prilosec, Prevacid, etc. Prilosec was the only drug that seemed to work, but I had to keep increasing the dosage. My doctor recommended Kapidex, and what a difference! I take one pill each morning and haven't had heartburn since. It's been almost a year now, so I won't find out if it has improved Barrett's for another month or so, but at least the heartburn is long gone. I can actually eat anything now, jalapeƱos, pizza, etc., without getting heartburn. Now I just worry about the long-term negative side effects on bone density. I do take a calcium supplement every morning as well, just in case."

"Only drug that has truly worked for me. I have a very large hiatal hernia, as well as severe acid reflux. I never slept through an entire night for years, until I started taking Kapidex."

"When diagnosed several years ago with GERD, I tried Prevacid. It helped shortly then break through. Then diagnosed with Barrett's, Nexium 2x a day...same thing. I felt really bad and was getting worse. I was then prescribed Kapidex. WOW... what a difference! I feel great and have gained some weight. This stuff is AWESOME! Finally!! Thank you."
