I just wanted to report back that I am out of the "rebound period" which has taken 2.5 months. From a natural standpoint the papaya enzymes have worked best and I have been able to reduce taking Tums...
I definitely relate and did the same thing after my 1st colonoscopy & endoscopy 6 months ago. Everything was fine but sometimes the web is a great resource and other times not so much. If it were me,...
There are a lot of really good resources for diet and I've found it does help a little to follow them. Completely understood about caffeine - I drank 3-4 cups of coffee a day plus chocolate in the...
Have you tried changes to your diet? I have significantly changed my diet (i.e. no caffeine (coffee or chocolate) or other trigger foods) and it helps a bit. For some people it seems like eliminating...

I was on Nexium (40mg) for 15 years but for the last 2 months have replaced it with famotidine (40 mg 2x a day). I also have to take 3-4 Tums daily and suffer with GERD at several points but don't...
Wondering if those that attempted to get off PPIs were successful. I have been on Nexium 40mg for almost 13 years and am attempting again to get off it completely. This time my doctor replaced Nexium...
