Side effects with omeprazole/Prilosec use

I have been on Protonix for many years. I want to phase off of that. When I asked my gastroenterologist to take me off of it, he lowered it from 40mg to 20mg. That was a year ago.
I plan to phase myself off of that
I too discovered Gaviscon Advanced which works great- I will use that.
I have seen my gastroenterologist for 20 years and always had great faith in him. Not so much now. He’s semi-retired, seems disinterested in my condition, and I believe writes my gastro issues off as being due to anxiety.

How annoying! Time for a new Gastro dr.

i.e. Being a woman!! I was on a PPI and decided I didn't need it any longer, so I started by not taking the morning pill. Did that for two weeks, and it went well. Then I stopped taking the evening pill every other night. So far, this is working well. I have yet to stop altogether, but my doctor suggested supplementing with either Tums or Gascon if I needed help. Hope this helps, and I would suggest passing it by your disinterested MD, although he/she will probably just say yes, go ahead and try it.
