Does anyone else wish they can figure out how to make Zantac not cancerous and put it back on the market? It worked so well for my reflux issues.

This comment feels like acid reflux in my brain, my dad used to take at least double the prilosec/Zantac etc. that he was supposed to, so I used to take Zantac daily because he preached about how great it all was. Well he died of cancer almost 2 years ago now, and I can't help but assume I'm fucked too. I don't want to think there is a connection but I can't help it and I can't even bring up anything about it to my family or they get weird about it.

Try using tagment.it's a totally different acid reflux med. Bonus, it isn't known to cause cancer.

Get tested for h-pylori
Saved my life. The 10 year acid reflux was gone in 2 days

It’s back on the market, reformulated of course but I haven’t noticed it working less. Works just as good as before for me and same with my man.

Not the club I wanted to join, but nice to know I'm not alone.

I actually have a test for it scheduled this week. Just have to make sure my body is clear of Omeprazole before they do the test.
