Both Nexium, and its "older brother" Prilosec (which I take) are known
to not only help heartburn but also to heal ulcers of both stomach and
esophagus.

I'd not at all be surprised to find out that the Sam's Club ones had all
sorts of additives that wouldn't settle nicely for anyone with even a
hint of problems with gastric distresses...  And some spices seem to be
helpful in settling stomach distress any way... so one just needs to
know which spices help oneself and which don't...  ;)  I've noticed
that, like prescription meds, spice tolerance "mileage" varies from
person to person.  ;)

PS  Don't be surprised not to see this message on the Sync side of
Holodeck... messages there are on one side or the other, not both, and
I'm doing it on the TG side...   You should, however, see it at Doc's,
Fidotel, etc...  :)    neb

... What messages?  You sent me messages?? {WOOF WOOF *burp!*}
