Thanks, guys. I take Pepcid only rarely, and know the problems with PPIs. I was diagnosed with a hietal hernia and the doc prescribed PPIs. I refused flat out. Doesn't make sense to stop all acid when you're actually trying to digest foods. I only take it hours and hours after eating. For some reason I get reflux sometimes on an EMPTY stomach, so I figure it's not as detrimental. But again, not very often, and less and less as time goes by.
