I have been on one PPI or another since my UC diagnosis in 2002. I also have a hiatal hernia and gastritis which causes me awful heartburn. My GI just did a scope and gave me a script for Dexilant. I hope we can get my insurance to cover it as all the OTC ones I have tried and either they no longer work 100% or they make me worse (Zegerid made me throw up daily).
