Acid Reflux Support
1,625 members
For more than three decades, the OPA has fought against oesophageal and gastric cancers, raising awareness, supporting patients, caregivers and their families. Whether you are in the early stages or further along in your journey, the OPA is dedicated to offering support and guidance. Did you know? There are over 65 Million people in the UK and it is estimated that over 1 in 10 people suffer from Reflux Disease. Reflux disease can have a terrible impact on a patients quality of life affecting many aspects of their everyday functioning. For many people, this can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes and/or medication prescribed by their GP such as omeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole (as well as others). However there are over 2 million people in the UK who do not respond effectively to this treatment and for these people, there are other options they can consider to treat their disease.
