Thank you for your response. I have been pairing down how often I take the PPI, mainly because of the gas side effects and because there was no sign of Barrett's Esophagus at my last endoscopy. The gastroenterologist said to keep taking the meds anyway, but I decided to take a break. I started taking a probiotic and I have not felt any acid reflux for a week. I will take famotidine or tums if I feel it again. I am also serious about diet changes.
