Pepcid: For what condition are taking pepcid? If it's for history of severe esophagitis, severe GERD or a peptic ulcer you'll want to be guided by a gastroenterologist. If you have been totally symptom free, it's reasonable to stop pepcid and conscientiously follow dietary advice and sensible intake of alcohol, caffeine, aspirin and NSAiD medications.

Gastroenterologist: With limited information provided as to what is the condition being treated, how long have you been treated for, what were the results of the endoscopy, if any, any other comorbidities, your best reference remains your treating gastroenterologist. If not having one, this will be the right time to get one.
