Yes, rebound acid reflux post stoppage of PPI is a known medical entity. That's why gradual tapering is required. Therefore, if you use gradual tapering of PPI and then switch it over to other antacids, it usually doesn't occur.
Next Steps
Visit the GP that prescribed you the PPI. He'll be able to help you better
