| I have gerd, a sliding hiatal hernia and was diagnosed with Barretts
esophagus in 1998 (56 yr old male). Biopsies every two years have
actually eliminated the Barretts. I have been on Prilosec for 5 years
and decided to quit one month ago. I am experiencing acid rebound due
to high Gastrin levels. Does anyone know how long this rebound will
last? I have made all of the recommended lifestyle changes except for
an occasional beer. Gum chewing (not peppermint) actually seems to
give me the most relief. I am avoiding antiacids because of the
rebound that they cause.
