I had a heart attack just over a year and am on daily aspirin. I Also take Lanzaprazole to guard my stomach . I'm just wondering if I could stop this as long as u take the aspirin on a full stomach. I'm trying to gradually reduce the number of prescription drugs I take. Please advise x

    You could try cider vinegar Kath, slippery elm and mastic gum. PPI’s are nasty and only designed to be used for a short while, I’m trying to get off them myself.

    I'm not a doctor but I am also trying to get off prescription drugs - if I were you I would GRADUALLY come off the Lansoprazole and take the asprin on a full stomach and see how it goes. You have to gradually come off the Lansoprazole because if you come straight off them you get a rebound effect, where your body makes even more acid.
