Heartburn Medication causes Heartburn Symptoms in Some Well Patients
In a group of well participants (people who had no symptoms at the beginning of the study), 44 percent developed heartburn symptoms after being taken off the proton pump inhibitors. This means that a percentage of the people who stop taking the medication because they stop getting heartburn symptoms will start getting heartburn as a result of withdrawing the medication.
In the study it is noted that perhaps there needs to be restrictions on the policy related to prescribing this class of medication liberally. My suggestion is that you consider using natural approaches first, including seeing a naturopathic doctor before resorting to medications for heartburn. Naturopathy has great treatments for stomach and digestive problems!
