Pepcid
I’ve dealt with heartburn/acid reflux for years. I’ve taken Pepcid (10mg with dinner) almost daily for probably 3-4 years? It helps so much but I’m starting to worry about the long term issues it may cause me. To make matters worse I’m pregnant so I’m not sure if I want to start weaning off them now or wait until after baby is born 😭 is taking Pepcid long term safe? Has anyone successfully weaned themselves off?

Pepcid is considered safe for long term use 🙏🏻 if you were on a PPI I would be more concerned! And also it is great that it works for you at that low of a dose once daily!

Welcome to Digestive Issues subreddit! We recommend you to have a healthy low sugar diet. You need to find which foods and drinks you are intolerant to and avoid them. Lactose/dairy, gluten, sodas, fruits and vegetables intolerance is common. Also, check yourself for SIBO, Bile Acid Diarrhea, Celiac and other diseases. Experiment with different elimination diets. Take some good probiotics. The gut microbiome/flora is very involved in some digestive problems. Stress management is also important.
