Hi Tina, I can't answer your question directly as there are so many variables from one to another. However I can tell you that it's ok to supliment with Gaviscon when you feel the burn. Eventually the effects of PPI will kick in and you won't need anything else. Good luck with your recovery.
Hi it took me months before I had any improvement just eat plain foods no spicey or fatty foods no caffeine
Get the book acid watchers diet - they also have a Facebook group - very helpful
Your goal is to try to let everything heal and eventually wean yourself off ppi
Ppi can take a few weeks to kick in - you can take Zantac or the gaviscon
Don’t eat after 5 or 6 at night
Sleep elevated
The book is great info from DR Aviv
What is the Facebook page called
They should start working in a few days. Not all PPIs suit all people. Your doc will try you on different ones until she/he finds one that works.
