"I have tried almost every acid reducer made in the last 20 years and nothing worked until I took prevacid 30mg 2x a day. I has severe stomach pain, cramps, pain under right shoulder.  Thought I was having a heart attack.  One 30mg pill didn't do it, I still needed antacids.  Another Dr suggested 2x a day.  It worked.  It took about 4 weeks for my symptoms to go away.
I could eat anything.  Periodically I've tried to reduce the amount by slowly reducing the mg, but symptoms always came back.  I've tried the generic version because my insurance co would cover it at this high dose, but symptoms came back after a few months.  Generic versions are just not the same."
