PPI doesn’t prevent the reflux from happening
It decreases the acid production in stomach and hence less acid in the reflux
If the symptoms are disabling, please consult a surgical gastroenterologist and discuss further about surgical options for GERD - This will be a one- stop solution for your symptoms.
