A member asked:
Is there such thing as acid rebound when coming off a ppi or any acid reducer? or are you just experiencing existing reflux due to cutting medication?

Long term use of "ppi's or acid reducer" followed by symptoms which were incorporate in your taking the ppi's, is probably just due to normal acid production. Consult your GI physician for guidance on further use of ppi's.
