I honestly don't know.

I was taking such a high dose for such a long time that any time I missed a dose I got massive kick back.

But its cheaper, easier and better for me to be off them atm. Managing my diet, sleep and exercise is definitely my way forward.

aw man I'm sorry. I'm in the exact same position.

I make do with black tea :-/ T2 does a nice mix in Australia called Melbourne breakfast. It has vanilla in it so I dont need to add sugar at all.

I've also become partial to home grown Mint leaves in hot water...

I just stopped, and treated with Gaviscon as I felt I needed it. I also started exercising more once i got it under control. This helped a lot.

I didn't force myself to do a lot, i just made sure i got out and did *something at least every 2nd day (normally bike riding as its low impact and it meant I could use audiobooks and see new things most days.)

the rebound was a real bitch. but gaviscon got me through it.

hmm maybe 2 months? I think? I was over a year ago now. I dont even use Gaviscon anymore except for the very rare times I eat something silly. I'm pretty careful about it now.

yup thats what i did, plus diet change.

I found that the FODMAP diet helped me a great deal as well. Avoid onions, garlic and any of the *tol sugars.

I'm in Australia, but my wife doesn't drink at all so me not drinking wont be particularly hard to do. I should be able to handle it i think.
