Many community members responded to the question about frequent heartburn, sharing that they also deal with acid reflux and GERD as part of living with MS. Several members mentioned medications that have helped them, including omeprazole, pantoprazole, Pepcid, and famotidine, while also noting helpful tips like not lying down after eating and being mindful of trigger foods like spicy dishes and soda.
