    The symptoms you describe are more likely to be from refluxing acid than from tablets to reduce acid.

    It seems to be fashionable to attck PPIs but for millions of people they are literally lifesavers.

      PPIs like lansoprazole reduce acid. They are very good at what they do but they don't magically cure every possible symptom of reflux.
