Getting Off of Omeprazole: Share your success stories please.

Are you making all of these changes under a doctor’s care? Have you been diagnosed with GERD? What are the digestive enzymes and prebiotic supposed to do for you? I suggest you see a GI professional.

I am taking a probiotic and seeing a new doctor on July 10th.

I used to have excruciating acid reflux and I discovered I was allergic to bananas. As soon as I stopped eating bananas over 10 years ago the pain absolutely went away. You might be allergic to something you're eating.

Waw so much reply on Gerd. For me I do Meditation, reduce meat, n Eat 90% full. Meds kills me

Hi i am new here started having heartburn and some acid reflux took a few tums seem to go away only to start up when i would go to bed like i was on fire.Took more tums helped some so talked to my GP and she put me on protonic @40mg which i took for 3 days it was making me sick and making things worse.She then put me on omeprazole @40mg to start then said to go to 40 twice a day I would not do 80mg a day i have been getting nauseous and a few pains in stomach pains.Also been having that feeling like i have phlegm in throat and some burping.I can't stand these side effects i have been taking it for a week only and i am stopping Someone was telling me that my doctor should have had me take Pepcid AC instead to begin with and then gone to something stronger.I have changed my diet eating smaller meals raised my head at night.I still feel a slight burn in middle of chest.I am a small frame woman at normal weight and i am very active 67years old my doctor said this is common has we get older i take no meds only a few vitamins gave up fish oil and vit c.What i would like to know does licorice really work and does it raise blood pressure?has anyone used slippery elm bark say its good for the throat also.I have always had a hard time getting used to something new if i have to take a med.At this point i don't know what to do i have a check up with doctor and i feel she going to think its all in my head.Any info will be helpful
Thank you

I have been on so many different medications as well. I tried licorice root for one month which helps heal the gut. It works so well that I’m
Off all medications.

Hi did you have that feeling in your throat?When you started the licorice were you still taking meds with it?How much do you take? Thank you!!

Yes but I was weaning off my medications.
