Primary Outcome Measures:

Primary objective is to evaluate the relationship between healing and study drug allotment. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The primary objective is to evaluate the relationship between healing and study drug allotment. The variables to be used are erosive esophagitis healing status after 3 weeks of treatment as assessed by EGD (upper endoscopy) comparing to base line EGD.

Estimated Primary Completion Date:	May 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Nexium Comparing 40 mg.once daily in healing erosive esophagitis.	Drug: Nexium Comparing 40 mg Nexium once daily to 80/80 Secretol once daily in healing erosive esophagitis. Other Name: Esomeprazole
Active Comparator: Secretol Comparing the efficacy of 80/80 Secretol once daily in healing erosive esophagitis.	Drug: Secretol Comparing 80/80 once daily to Nexium once daily in healing erosive esophagitis. Other Name: lansoprazole/omeprazole combination

Detailed Description:

We hypothesize that Secretol 80/80 daily will demonstrate better efficacy than Nexium 40 mg daily in healing erosive esophagitis(EE)and controlling gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)related symptoms after 3 weeks of treatment.In addition, Secretol 80/80 daily will have a faster effect on the aforementioned clinical parameters but a similar safety profile.
