Yes the PPI's work fairly well but are not foolproof. Other important things to do in addition: don't eat or drink within four hours of going to bed; don't bend over after eating; try to avoid spicy foods tomato sauce chocolate mint and alcohol; elevate the head of your bed or buy a specially designed wedge type pillow. If you've added weight try to lose that and don't wear tight fitting clothes. All these things seem like a big pain but remember that acid reflux over a long period of time can do some major damage to the esophagus so it's important to control even if the symptoms are not yet severe.
