Ranitidine for Erosive Esophagitis "When I tell you that this little pill or Zantac liquid works WONDERS!!!! I've had the worst nauseous feeling, bad diarrhea for the last five days. As soon as I took this pill, it just sat there, burning the food, holding it down. Ahh man, I'm so happy now, relief of pain, but also with a better diet, it's way better."

For GERD "Best drug ever. I had a horrible pepper/spicy curry with burning sensation, trouble breathing, bad discomfort like I was in septic shock or something, chest pains, spasms in the throat. Within two days of taking 300 mg of ranitidine per day, it has got me back on my feet! I was on 60 mg lansoprazole per day a month prior to this with not much of an effect. I do take both together, so it could be the both meds."

For GERD "I have had gastritis for a couple of years now, and my doctor prescribed this for me just to see if it would help me with all the acid in my stomach, but it actually did the quite opposite. It made my stomach burn really bad! I tried it a couple more times thinking I just needed to get used to it, but it burned more each time. Everyone reacts differently, but I found that promethazine and metoclopramide worked best!"

Ranitidine for GERD "Ever since I put on weight, I’ve been experiencing occasional reflux (about once a week). I never knew how painful reflux could be. Another symptom I’ve been having is regurgitation and belching. At times, I’ll wake up coughing because I’m choking on regurgitate. It’s scary and leaves my esophagus and throat burning. Zantac is my go-to. It works every time. Tonight I had reflux, and I felt it dissipate within 5 minutes of taking the Zantac tablet. The pain was completely gone in 10 minutes. I’ve also started sleeping with my head up about 30 degrees, and that helps too."
