Hello, I'm Jeannie. I was diagnosed with MALT Lymphoma stage IV B 4years ago. I have been in remission and doing maintenance chemo for 3 years to stay in remission, and have just recently been going cold turkey since jan this year. As for the reflux, I still have it, sometimes I acont have any problems with it for days to even weeks, then it pops up again. I have been taking prilosec(prescription strength) off and on for 4 years. The longest I've gone with out using meds is about 3weeks. What I have found throught out all of it is to watch what you eat. nothing spicy, no onions, especially raw, cooked arent that bad, no peppers! I just a better eye on what I'm preparing now, sometimes i'll eat bread to settle my stomach and even saltines seems to help. Just be careful with the spices. I find myself cooking with less and less seasonings including salt and pepper. fried onions are better then raw same with green peppers, but I still shy away from them because they still seem to be pretty potent cooked.Hope this helps!!!!
