You will get used to the diet and it's easier once you've been on it long enough to feel better. Making sure you stay upright for at least an hour after eating will help with the acid reflux almost as much as the medication does. But do take it seriously, it can lead to Barrett's which is a pre-cancerous condition. My mom wound up with it because she refused to believe that her diet/drinking had anything to do with her stomach pain. Love you sweetie.
