Greedflation pricing. I've noticed a ton of products going back to normal price just in the last two months. Gatorade, various food, and other things. It's not a sale, they are just not price gouging after their customers stopped buying.

I've always bought Tums like products, but with proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole available over the counter, is there any reason to still buy Tums?
I'm not shitting on the deal. I'm asking an actual question for those that suffer acid reflux and have taken both.

They're a pretty decent placebo for bloating or overeating. But yeah, much better products over the counter now.

Genuine response is that PPI's are supposed to be taken short term typically, and advisable to speak with your PCP for any meds that you find you're taking long-term, even over the counters. Also some limited studies have shown increased risk for certain cancers (like stomach) after prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors. Flip side is some folks don't do well ingesting chalky tum types for long periods either (digestive tract issues for example).
Perspective: I have had terrible reflux for years and after taking pretty much every thing thrown at me have settled on one 15mg lansaprazole every 4 or 5 days vs omeprazole daily. I can go longer if I watch what I eat (away from spicy or acidic). I have a Costco sized tums in several rooms and car for on the go and immediate relief.
Disclosure; not a doctor, just someone who's had reflux for 25 years

Some evidence showing long term PPI use related to increased incidence of stomach cancer
Good to know. Luckily I don't have chronic acid reflux. I usually only get it when I've been eating stupid like drinking beer and wine with friends and overeating pastas at an Italian restaurant after not eating a healthy diet for a couple days. I take the Tums, but they usually do a poor job of completely stopping it.

Definitely only would take short term. I probably only get acid reflux about 6 times per year, but Tums usually don't meaningfully correct it, but perhaps they shorten the duration. I've never taken omeprazole yet. I'll end up reading some articles, but I was just curious to hear some personal experiences if omeprazole is some godsend that shuts down the acid reflux. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I has acid reflux for 6 to 9 months, but didn't like taking the pump inhibitors my doctor put me on. It worked, but I don't like taking prescriptions. I watched videos on YT and started using apple cider vinegar. Just taking it twice a day with warm water in a glass, it really helped me a lot. I also followed advice of not eating big meals for dinner and raising my bed 1-2 inches at the top, so gravity helped, too. It fixed it for me and I'm good now. I'm not a doctor as well and this isn't advice. It's just what I did for my reflux. I still use ACV occasionally for the other health benefits and it taste really good, too.
