weaning off ppi

Hi! This is how I remember weaning off my ppi - I took one of the prevacids apart and counted those tiny balls. Over 200! I deicded to reduce pretty slowly, by simply removing 25 tiny balls and getting use to that dose. I would continue to remove an increased number of balls about every 2 weeks. When it got to be too many balls to count, I would try to gauge how full the capsule was by using the capsule markings as a guide. I also added in the Zantac. I am now in the process of weaning off the Zantac. I figure if I can drink coke and eat spaghetti, I should be able to get off the Zantac and just not eat the trigger foods. It was not always easy. I needed tums and pepto bismol to get through the bad times, but it is possible. :)
