The problem for the poster is that Zantac and all the other meds taken for this suppress stomach acid, which works for awhile, but eventually the stomach must make more acid in order to digest protein. This creates a
rebound effect, which is good for the pharmaceutical industry because it means you have to keep taking the medication forever whereas GERD comes and goes. But you also have to alter your diet by finding out what it is you're eating that is causing the problem.
