A good question Tim, that I have been wondering about. I am on Lansoprazole, which I think works by reducing gastric acid production. I have tried to do without it a couple of times without success, and have been advised it is better to take it than have acid reflux especially as I am still having swllowing problems so will take it a bit longer before trying without it again.
