If PPIs stop your digestion, then...       03/26/05 08:27 AM Edit Reply Quote Linz Reged: 09/01/03 Posts: 8242 Loc: England ...you probably don't have an excess of acid anyway, but more of a problem with pure reflux (as typical with a hiatal hernia). PPIs only inhibit (NOT stop) acid production. Antacids work by trying to neutralize the acid that's already there...so they are just trying to do the same thing as PPIs and Zantac, but less efficiently. I've had GREAT success with PPIs...it seems that my bod just produces too much acid. I'm not on them atm...3 months on Lansoprazole stabilised me and now I can control the GERDs mostly through diet - Zantac is for the few times I can't. I agree about the peppermint btw - OUCH! Chamomile is good tho. And remeber that as Andrew said, untreated GERDs can be horrific! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
