Hello Lorainne,<br><br>Would you please let me know what you take rather than PPI's. I had the same situation and finally stopped taking them after 3 years of being miserable. I do have Gerd and Barrett's Esophagus so PPI's were to keep acid neutralized is what Dr explained to me. I now take Apple Cider Vinegar daily and it keeps Gerd under control, but maybe damaging esophagus. I don't know. I would rather have a better quality of life rather than longevity not feeling well every day. Nice to meet you.<br><br>
