Off of PPIs for about 3 weeks now..Weened down from 40 mg 2x a day, to 40 mg 1x a day to 20 mg 1x a day now I am just zantac 1 in the morning and 1 at night... However, since the completion of going off of PPIs .. my throat has been burning pretty consistent. Also, the wrap area burns more at night.... any specific reasoning or any of the NF veterans experience this?

This is not what I experienced, but it is common. Even though you weaned off of the PPIs, you are most likely suffering from rebound acid. You can take the Zantac at night. Give it some time.

How about bloating/gas in abdominal area... near wrap especially? ... that's something new this last week.

Burning seems to have subsided for the time being. Off of all PPIs and Zantac.

Bloating/gas is common. Try taking an anti-gas medication containing simethicone.
