I use the reglan for the hiatial hernia,ulcer and gerd. They throw in other things from time to time when they flair up. along with the pancreatitis, but seems once they get it all settled down it flares back up real bad again which is what is doing now. I have so many painful hard balls in my Upper abdomen that I have to ask what they are, they pulsate very strong too. I take the hormone patch too, the pills never seemed to adjust my hormones right. The patch works alright not great still have menopause effects guess can't get rid of those completely.. Hugs Kimmi
