^^^ My allergist put me on Protonix/Pantoprazole but my GP made me quit taking it after about 6 months cuz of long term risk & put me on Pepcid instead. I notice my acid reflux is worse than before I started the Protonix & I've been off that for a couple years now. I still have some Protonix on hand that I take when my refux is bothering me a lot or very occasionally as a preventive when I'll be eating something that might could really aggravate it like when I'm visiting my parents(which I do a couple times a year for a couple weeks) & my mom is frying seafood.
Does your mom know about this? I'm thinking of my own family, of mom rushing around because her treasured grown-up kid is coming to visit. She's going to out-mother herself, cram all the love into the most magnificent meal - and she's making him sick.
Oh dear, for mom's sake and your own, could you - perhaps later - suggest that your allergist has asked you to change your diet? No frying, no seafood? Some other of mom's specialties?
Or do you love it and figure it's worth it? You wouldn't be the first.
At any rate, maybe have ready another meal to suggest, that your body gets along with.
I am reminded of Thanksgiving - we all eat everything and moan the rest of the night. Maybe that's just the way it's supposed to be.
