Prilosec for yrs, it cause many gastric polyps. slowly weaning off it. what is a good alternative not a ppi for heartburn with little side effects?

Heartburn medication: not PPI, includes TUMS, (very safe, it's just calcium), Maalox, Mylanta, Carafate, (sucralfate) Zantac (ranitidine), Pepcid (famotidine), Tagamet (cimetidine). If you have not been tested for H.pylori, it is important to ensure that you are not infected with H.pylori. If present, it should be treated. H.pylori can result in serious consequences.
