I was on PPIs for reflux for about 6 years before realizing how damaging they could be. Getting off them was really difficult but your suggestions here, in addition to some ginger supplements, helped me to ween off them. Getting off them was a terrible experience, but I'm much better off because of it. I rarely experience reflux anymore.

For a couple of years, the only thing that worked for me was mega-huge doses of PPI's. After several pH studies, endoscopies, and other tests confirmed that I don't have abnormal reflux, food allergies, gluten sensitivity, or anything else, my doctor(s) and I found after years of trial-and-error that a combination of H2 blockers and a low-dose of antidepressants mostly controls my symptoms, which are probably caused by an overly-sensitive gastric nervous system.
