Depends: It depends on why your take it. If you take it because you have an ulcer or precancerous changes in the lining of your esophagus or stomach then i would encourage you to keep taking it. If however, it's just for reflux/heartburn you can try the things recommended on this link: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/heartburn-gerd/ds00095/dsection=lifestyle-and-home-remedies.
