    I purchased an acid reflux pillow which really helps. I paid around £80.00

    for me well worth every penny.

    Rob it could well be you dont have enough acid and thats why the PPI is making you worse. Suggest you research HCL gel capsules. This appears to be pretty safe as long as you dont have ulcers.
