I have felt that my meds (PPI's) were causing heartburn before. I would take them in the morning with a little water and in about 15 minutes I would start feeling pain in my chest. I have been off...
I would just be careful with the PPI's. I think they are good to get you healed up, but if you stay on them long term your body will learn to need them. In my case they seemed to make me feel worse...

Went back to the GI today. He said the blood in my spit is probably a combination of acid reflux and me trying to suck spit from the back of my throat tramatizing my esophagus. He wants to put me on...
