Protein Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are your friend... AcipHex, Prevacid,
Nexium, etc... about 3 months worth twice a day... <g>  I know many
people who have had barium swallows, etc.. It is not too bad. In my
opinion, the best thing would be for your doc to make a referral to a
gastroenterologist for an EGD study. The scope does wonders, and does
not hurt at all. They can determine the extent and severity of the
ulcer, and other things that might be going on,... and make a
determination for therapy.. (my brother is a GI doc)  <g>  I wish you
well Tighe..
