Supposedly, but my gerd is so bad I can’t. Doctor told me I’m stuck on it for life. I tried once to come off it and nearly choked in my sleep.
I have it sometimes. Used to not bother me, but now that I am in my mid-60’s it does. I did the Omeprazole and it helped, but I was afraid to go back on it. I take a Pepcid when I am eating something that causes problems, like tomato sauce.
