Proton pump inhibitors and SN

[StoneCactus]

I'm currently taking omeprazole and famotidine for GERD (have a prescription for both) Should I keep taking them or come off and wait a couple weeks before I CTB with SN? I see conflicting advice on this forum.

According to farewall wiki: "Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs): If you are taking PPIs (e.g., esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole) for gastric ulcers, you should stop taking them 2 weeks prior your attempt. See the Antacid section for more information."

I'd also like to know the answer to this.
I was wondering whether PPIs can be taken alongside other antacids, such as magnesium aluminium carbonate, as well as cimetidine. I've previously been using rabeprazole to treat my stomach problems.

I recommend you reading the whole page of SN on farewell wiki, it's long, maybe there's something there talking about your situation.
