Tried getting off omeprazole a couple times. End up back on it. Nothing else works for me long term. Alternative is barfing up acid. Concern over esophageal cancer outweighs other concerns.

Hello @musicflowers4u,

It sounds as if you have a tough time with reflux. I'm sorry to hear that.

Have you tried elevating the head of your bed? That can help but it is not a cure-all. Keeping your diet free from acidic foods, caffeine, and alcohol are also helpful Weight can also be a factor.
