A member asked:
Ive been taking prescription prilosec by my sr for gerd for years now yet when i run out in two days i get pain is there a natural way to get rid of this instead of being on meds?

Somewhat typical: Rebound acidity is relatively common and described in patients on potent PPI's for years when trying to stop. Work with your prescriber towards tapering PPI's, sometimes anti H2 blockers are also used in the process.
