Congratulations, Heather. I too have been weaning myself off PPIs. I started gradually reducing them (VERY gradually) several weeks ago. I went from every day to 6 days per week (for 2 weeks), then 5 (for two more weeks), then 4 (for 1 week), then 3(for 1 weeK). I take 2 this week and am off them next week. All has gone well. This very gradual reduction kept me from getting acid rebound. My reflux is especially brought on my certain types of physical exertion (I have a hernia), but I have been able to handle the occasional bout with Tums or something like that.
