I'm not sure that you need the pepcid. How about taking a liquid antacid like maalox or gelusil 1/2 hour after meals and at bedtime? Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol,aspirin,and anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or naproxen. A different ppi, such as nexium, could be tried if not improved after a few weeks. Your gastroenterologist is best to advise you, however.
