[QUOTE="PhilM7, post: 230548, member: 28213"] I take 40 MG of Pepcid at night. It's not a PPI, but that's double the dosage recommended on the bottle. My doctor prescribed that amount, and it works as long as I don't drink sodas, eat a greasy meal before bedtime or eat a large meal before bedtime. I have had reflux for 20 years, that mainly affects me when I lie down. My partner has it too, and he had the surgery that should have fixed the valve at the top of the stomach, but it didn't work (I think the surgery was called a fundioplasty, or something like that, where they wrap part of your stomach around the esophagus. He was not eligible for the surgery that uses an elastic band of magnets around the base of the esophagus, but that surgery sounded most promising. His swallow reflex muscles were not strong enough, in a medical test, to open the magnets, so he couldn't have that surgery. [/QUOTE]
