PPI is an acid pill. My doctor recommended either

1. Aciphex 20 mg

2. Nexium 40 mg

3. Prevacid 30 mg

4. Prilosec 20 mg

5. Protonix 40 mg

He said for me to take them the first couple of months if needed for acid reflux. Some people find it helps with the stomach not giving the false hungry feelings. I stopped after a couple of months because I read it can interfere with some vitamin absorbance and because I felt I just did not need it anymore. Some of the above are RX only but a couple you can get over the counter. I got mine over the counter cheaper.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

sorry if I was not clear above...........you pick ONE of the PPI to take.....he said all of these work equally well.

Thank you. Do you know which one is not a prescription? I'm having gas and hunger pangs on an all liquid diet.

prevacid and prilosec are over the counter ( I bought the generic and it worked just fine)

I LIVED on the chewable gas X tablets for the gas until week 5.....at two at each meal....helped alot with the gas

FYI PPI stands for proton pump inhibitor. Looks like supermom covered it all.
