How to discontinue ppis in order to avoid acid rebound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can taper dose...: ...slowly over a period of a week or two, but after a few days of having no drug in your system you'll still be back to making basal levels of stomach acid. Perhaps a step-down to an H2-blocker or use of antacids may achieve your goal.
