Ask Crystal: Is It Possible to Get Off Reflux Medication?
I get tons of gastroparesis-related questions via email and I’m not always able to answer each one individually. Instead, I’m doing my best to answer as many reader-submitted questions as I can via blog and video posts, as a way to provide the information to as many people possible. I call this the "Ask Crystal" series and here's the first installment.

Melody’s question:
"Been diagnosed with Gastroparesis for going on 2 years now and have been on prescribed anti-reflux medicines for 3 years..any suggestions on how to get off this medication. I'm so opposed to it, but without it, the reflux is too bad! My doctor says the reflux is because of my gastroparesis and is necessary!"
