@wandafanda I have been on Lansoprazole, a generic of Prevacid, for over twenty years and I have been fine. I have a small hiatal hernia so it is essential for me to stay on the PPI to prevent Barrett’s Esophagus.

@rashida I just read your post. I was told at National Jewish Hospital, NJH, that I have a small hiatal hernia but not told to start PPI. The Bravo test performed at NJH did not indicate acid reflux. Just hope the test was correct, "ya just never know."
What were your symptoms that you feel the hiatal hernia caused before taking the PPI.?
Did you have problems such that you could describe as being caused by the hiatal hernia or was it a colonoscopy test that suggested problems and PPI's?
I don't think I have problems that could be associated with a hiatal hernia, but I might be wrong and wonder if you had specific problems that you were aware of before being told to start the PPI's.
