I have had digestive problems for a long time. But I will get off the PPI and try one of the other acid suppressants. My diet is considering my problems. I also heard the PPI's can contribute to bone thinning. Thanks for the comment!

There can be withdrawal from a PPI. Your system adjusts and actually may make more acid, which continues when you go off until your system adjusts to the new norm. It can help to use Zantac or Pepcid as a sort of bridge. I do 20mg then 10mg to help with withdrawal. It is possible that PPI's contribute to osteoporosis, I have read, but GERD is tough- I know!

It’s true that acid meds can cause bone thinning issues. I have worked out 5 days a week since I was 20 and all of a sudden I developed issues. I got
Off the meds and found out I was allergic to gluten and reflux went away. Wish I had done it sooner. Go to a nutritionist and find out what’s causing your issues
