Anyone regularly use acid reducers?

How many of you regularly use an acid reducer like prevacid or prilosec? I am finding that I've been very acidic, and after being on prilosec for a couple of weeks, I can eat better, and my appetite has increased. I'm wondering if the over acidity contributed to my lack of appetite.

I used to be but then I started on 500mg/500mg calcium /magnesium 2-3 times a day to stay more alkaline. i use those PH test strips........havent had a stomache ache or stomache probs in years. I used to have constant stomach trouble since I was a kid..

I had used calcium for a while a few years ago, maybe it's time to start using it again.

The best thing I have ever used is a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar every day. It slows the production of acid in the stomach without any of the negative effects of the other meds. You can also use citric acid.
