Hi Heather, That's awesome news about your coming off PPI's I am also thinking about pregnancy...I may be right now, but am waiting until the time I can take the test to see for sure.. Anyway, my GI doctor didn't want me on anything, in case I was. So I stopped Aciphex last week. Very cold turkey, since I've been on PPI's for the last 4 years. I am taking one Zantac 75 every morning. Have you heard anything on that as far as pregnancy's concerned? I'm ok, definitely not as good as with PPI's, but surviving :) I also take a couple of Malox after dinner, that seems to make digestion easier.
I wanted the surgery, but my gi said the same thing, you don't want to have it too close if you're thinking of having a baby, it may be a long recovery period.
Does anyone know the time period when your body get's used to being off PPI's, when it's not over-producing acid?
Hope I have the same results like you.
Thanks
