I do enjoy coffee and soda both, but not in any kind of excessive quantities. But I never touch any kind of Tums or Rolaids. Only use the sodium bicarbonate & water when it's really bad, but stick pretty much to the equivalent of zantac. (generic zantac).
Prilosec worked very well too, I just can't remember to take a pill religiously every day like that and so I kept falling out of the zone with it. That's it's downfall. Takes too long to build up to being effective, and if you miss a day or two, you gotta start over.
