I take omeprazole for GERD. Oddly, I don't need it everyday. I do take it everyday because it's what you're supposed to do, but I find periods where i can go a few days without issue. I hope your famotidine works well for you!

Thank you! And that’s a good idea
laughing is great, I haven’t watched anything funny in awhile. I’ve heard good things about omeprazole. But my doctor wanted to try the famotidine first because it doesn’t have the risk of messing up magnesium levels I think? Apparently that’s a rare side effect but can happen. I can always try omeprazole if this doesn’t work but I’m hopeful that it does! I used to be on ranitidine but it was recalled because of the chemicals in it found that could cause or be linked to certain forms of cancer. It’s weird, I went a few years without a GERD flare up but then this past 3-4 months it’s been constant and terrible.
