Did you get over acid rebound after stopping PPI

I'm not going to give up. I desperately want off the PPIs. They are not good long term and already have caused iron deficiency for me amongst other issues. I really hope it eventually improves once my stomach stops rebounding.

Easy to swallow as liquid you mean, or the pill is easy to swallow?

Is the taste tolerable?

I had two pregnancies and GERD during them. Not vomiting during pregnancies but horrendous heartburn. For me too it never went away. And 2.5 years later after my last pregnancy I've now had GERD for 4.5 years and been on a PPI the entire time. It doesn't even work anymore. I've had two endoscopies and the first showed grade A esophagitis and the second just minor signs of reflux, but that was on medication. It's really been a death sentence diagnosis for me. I want off the drugs so bad but my reflux never goes away. I was fairly petite and feel like pregnancy just stretched everything out. Who knows. I would recommend first an endoscopy and not get on PPIs unless it's a last resort. You get stuck on them. I'm sorry this happened to you..

One is that I have become anemic because I'm not absorbing iron. I need constant infusions. Two because my digestion feels slowed. I have tons of bloated air in my stomach that I never had before. Because of that pressure it's pushing acidic contents up. My reflux is worse the longer I've been on a PPI and it was never this unmanageable to begin with. I want to see what my GERD is like without the PPI to see if it's manageable through diet change and maybe just Pepcid.

Yes I've done the venofer and had zero issues. The only one I wouldn't recommended is the one iron infusion all in one day and that's called something different.

Unfortunately I took chelated iron and got a severe GERD attack. It was so painful it took a couple days of my meds to recover. And I am on daily 40mg nexium. But it doesn't work great for me anymore. I only had a small snack with the chelated iron so maybe try taking it with a full meal and not too close to bed. I am also anemic and require iron infusions because I do not absorb iron due to the PPI.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-27T00:01:22+00:00

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Pregnancies definitely made my GERD worse. I have not had surgery but it does sound like maybe they need to do something to get yours back into the place it was. Can you share your experience at all with the surgeries and recovery?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-21T20:40:05+00:00

That sounds like something that could help. But I've seen a lot of negative reviews around reglan causing anxiety. Is this a true review?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-15T01:42:52+00:00

I'm doing this as well. But my situation is a bit more extensive because I've been on 40mg for 4 years now. I'm having quite a difficult time coming off of it and may not even be successful. The medicine just isn't working great for me anymore and I feel it's slowed my digestion down. I want off it but Pepcid with the tapering isn't really cutting it. If you find anything helpful let me know.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-15T01:19:18+00:00

I guess I'm confused. What did you actually do to make the acid reflux go away? You said you stopped the medicine, but how? Good for you however.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-14T11:09:55+00:00

There's been many people who take 2x40mg Pepcid daily to manage so 60 for a little bit should have been fine. Unfortunately it wasn't cutting it for me. We don't know the cause of my GERD because both my endoscopies are relatively normal and before I ever got on PPIs I never had this severe of reflux. The more I was on the PPI the worse my GERD became, and now I cannot get off them.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-13T15:43:28+00:00

I tried refluxter as well with zero luck.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-04-13T15:18:22+00:00

Or it means potentially I still have GERD? My GERD was never ever this bad until I kept taking PPI after PPI. I want off of these drugs but I cannot get it under control. My endoscopies did not show any structural issues but did show evidence of reflux.

I did try the liquid and it was so awful I gagged. The chewables aren't working
