Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

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!

I'm on PPI presently. Dr prescribed it for one month only, to be followed by Famotadine. He was emphatic about the one month. If symptoms persist, he advised to take the PPI when needed.
