A member asked:
Gerd not responding to prilosec or protonix (pantoprazole).....burning in chest, back throat. could this be something else?will i ever be able to get off a ppi?

Hopefully: If you are significantly overwight, your chances of getting off ppi drugs will be helped by weight loss and multiple small meals rather than a couple of large ones. Avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and anticholinergic drugs can help too.
