See, like I said... One of these days I'll learn! :D Thanks statdoc!

I guess I won't be drinking for a while... Eh, I needed about half a year off anyways. :rofl:

Taking a break from drinking is the easy part, it's the spicy food that I'm truely addicted to. Cajun food isn't just "hot", it's the loads of seasonings and spices that makes it sooo good. At least crawfish isn't in season. :rolleyes:

Any helpfull hints to shorten the healing time? I already drink loads of water and as much or more milk. Would an antacid before sleep be a good idea as well?

If you want, you can take one of the other "acid reducers" (such as Zantac, Pepcid or Tagamet) at bedtime, and continue to take the Prilosec in the morning. That should suppress the acid enough to allow healing. It just takes several days. If you need to supplement with some Tums or something like that interspersed throughout the day, go ahead.

All this is assuming you have normal kidney and liver function, etc. If you die, please tell your heirs not to sue me.

Rememeber the Human stomach is an incredible environment. The Doc has great advice.

FYI: Capsaicin has no antiseptic value. It has found use as repellents and a superficial pain reliever.

My prescription is to eat couple quackers and call me in the morning.

Thanks realchef, now I'm hungry! (about that time of year for cajun injected deep fried birds!!!)

And thanks again statdoc, I use to have some perscription stregnth omeprazole around the house, but will stick with the common generic pepcid ac type stuff to help.

... and yes I have normal kidney and liver function, and if I die the 4.6is (just washed/vacuumed/leather conditioned today) will get auctioned over the forum. :thumbup:
