Vicki,

My onc. told me I would probably be on a Protonix for GERD for the remainder of my life post-chemo as I had s0 much trouble during chemo. Well, I visited my naturopath after chemo ended and she immediately wanted me to wean from the med. I told her I could not be in pain again and she asked me to take a high quality probiotic for a few weeks and then d/c the Protonix. After just 2 weeks of the probiotic I stopped the Protonix and have never had any further problems. I have continued taking them to this day and can even tolerate Turmeric supplements and the hottest curry dishes known to mankind! Now it did take nearly a year before I could add Turmeric caps back to my regime, fyi. I am a believer.
