    I think it's important to stay on a strict diet while weaning off ppi. I ate only soft vegetable soup right now. Eat something easy for the stomach to digest. It took a gal named Cagu almost 2 years to get back to normalcy.

    I am also trying to wean off ppi at this moment. I am off the ppi right now but still debating whether or not I should take H2 blockers.

    Google up Cagu and you will find her post in Inspire. Good luck.

    What I meant was it took that lady 2 years to return to normal. It is all depend on individual. Some recover shorter, some take longer.
